Permission was given in December 1969 for thr former British Railways branch line from Seaton to Colyton 3 miles through unspoilt countryside in the beautiful Axe Vallet. The granting of a transfer order into a light railway order after the ensuing public enquiry dealt with complaints that the noise would be unacceptable and blemising the natural beauty of the Axe Valley was overturned by the enquiry.
