Actually shot across the grid line from the footbridge, which I didn't realise at the time. Not that it matters. This shows Crediton Station, which as a result of being managed under a community rail scheme as "the Tarka Line", is painted in cheerful London & South Western Railway (LSWR) colours. The station was designed by one Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who is more usually associated with the Great Western Railway. Crediton is actually a junction station, with the line to Bude diverging from the Barnstaple line here. This is not immediately obvious, as the two lines run parallel as far as Colebrook Junction.
