No that was at Williton, the south facing camera, as the person was worried others would use it to know when they weren't home.

I seem to remember another complaint somewhere (Blue Anchor?) where someone complained they would be seen driving across the level crossing.:)

Ah but Blue Anchor is most definitely showing the GW era on it's cam, so anything going across is from the 1930s.

It still says offline due to L/C work est finish July!

 

EDIT

Trains start running 22nd May but only Bishop's Lydeard to Williton

They've been advertsing recently for a site manager to help them during the works so it's probably not really started in earnest yet.

 

There is still some train activity out of Minehead, works trains for the trackwork further east, there is still ongoing trackwork improvements between Watchet and Minehead that also need to be factored in to passenger train running.

 

Here is an update given in March regarding the level crossing - the interlocking has been removed pending the crossing replacement, so that would mean hand signals only - fine for works trains, a bit more complicated if you are running a service.

looks like the Western that's been hiding under sheeting has gone from that shot... finally gone inside?

Didn't notice that, I did note the 47 in the line up now.

 

The two 33s are still waiting to go off to Bishops Lydeard.

9351 with a DMU trailer, inspection coach and the Quantock Belle sneaking out of Bishops Lydeard under the cover of low cloud this morning.  Presume headed for Williton, but they did demonstrate last week the barriers at Minehead still operate so perhaps going there for storage?  The Belle coaches looked very good in Crimson, they do do a good paint job at Williton.

Edit: straight through Williton, it's headed for Minehead.
