On the right are the coaches, originally built in 1984 for the Thorpe Park Theme Park in Surrey, that had been used for the passenger service since the re-opening in 2004. Their days at Woody Bay are numbered. On the left behind 'Lyd' are the 2 newly rebuilt original L&BR coaches that had been delivered in April. A 3rd coach will join them in September & the Thorpe Park coaches will be redundant. They were sold to Statfold Barn Railway, near Tamworth in Staffordshire.
