Killington Lane railway station

Killington Lane is a temporary terminus about one mile (1.6 km) southwest of Woody Bay on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway (L&B), the narrow gauge line that originally ran for 19 miles (31 km) through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon.

Killington Lane opened to passenger services on 27 May 2006, as the rebuilding continues southwards towards the former Halt at Parracombe.

The wooden platform shelter, similar in footprint to those used elsewhere on the original line (such as at Snapper) is, like the carriage shed at Woody Bay, intended to be transportable, so the station can be moved to each new railhead as the reconstruction continues.

Destroyed by a storm early in 2014, which resulted in it being deposited in a field 100 yards (90 m) away, the shelter was replaced by a new building in April 2014, this time held in place by four internal posts made from lengths of redundant rail sunk into the platform.
