For the eastbound departure from Ilfracombe, it was usually necessary for assistance to be provided by a bank engine for the 1 in 36 climb from the terminus to Mortehoe & Woolacombe station.
Although opened independently, the attraction was latterly owned by the operators of nearby Watermouth Castle.
