 Tickets were made of paper, with a combination of the names of the boarding and alighting points printed in a double column on either side of the value.Trains started from Bideford Quay on their scenic journey across the peninsula to the cliffs at Cornborough and Westward Ho!, then over the fields close to Northam Burrows, finally coming to the terminus at the port of Appledore, with its shipyards and maritime traditions.The line was seven miles (11 km) in length when fully opened in 1908.
