|}}The Lane Halt or Chanters Lane was a minor railway station or halt/request stop in north Devon, close to Bideford, on the Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway, serving the outskirts of the town.[4] It lay 0 mile and 55 chains from Bideford Quay.[5]

History

The halt lay just beyond the "Yard" with its sidings, carriage shed and engine shed.[6] The halt was only 13 chains away from the Causeway Crossing Halt.[7]

Infrastructure

The halt had no freight facilities. A platform 20 ft x 30 ft long was planned, 6 inches high and fenced at the back with no shelter. It is not clear if this facility was constructed. The level crossing was protected by semaphore signals.[7] The up home signal at the Causeway Crossing Halt carried a fish-tailed distant signal that worked in conjunction with Chanters Lane's crossing home signal.[8]

Micro history

In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors.[9]
