Topsham Level Crossing, Devon

Date filmed: Monday the 23rd of June 2025 Videos filmed at: 10:07 | 10:32 | 10:36 Route: Exmouth Branch "The Avocet" Line Topsham (TOP) Station Crossing type: Manually Controlled Barrier crossing with CCTV (MCB-CCTV) Filming location: Station Road, Topsham (EX3 0DS) A level crossing located in Topsham next to the mouth of the River Exe, Devon. The station here forms a passing loop to enable a half-hourly service to run on this branch line to Exmouth, and the crossing was one of a number in the area to be fully-renewed in 2012. Most of the setup still remains from then, blue nameplates still in place and well-visible, with the only noticeable exception being one alarm's sounder. Standing next to this busy crossing is a disused signal box which has been out of action for some time, as the level crossing has been controlled via CCTV from Exmouth Junction since well before its full renewal. Something that makes this crossing a little more of note is the total number of wigwags here: three on one side, four on the other, making for seven in total. Only one mast bears just the single set of lights, with the three others all carrying 'bunk' pairs. It's not too often you see this many in use at one crossing. Three lowerings feature in these videos, as I got lucky with the crossing raising after the slightly early arrival of the Exmouth-bound train. The other train must've been yet to pull in, so the barriers were raised for a minute or so.
