What a fabulous place. Throwback to the good old days of branch lines; proper level crossings; semaphore signals; perhaps a fox crossing the line on a still, hot, summer day.
I could almost smell the creosote fumes coming off the sleepers.
Lovely.
Interesting place, guy must be one of the fittest signalmen out there with all the running back and forth to the crossing gates! Nice compilation.
Lovely watching the sheds go by!
Bet that signal man keeps fit running after the gates all day.👍
That's one very energetic crossing keeper.
Steve does this every day of the week, so it counts as his daily exercise. He has a pint down at his local most days so he's earns a Strongbow at the end of it all lol. :)
Excellent video, thanks, most enjoyable to watch.
Thanks, I'm glad the weather was nice too :)
Not sure how many know this, but this Station was the fictional Kirrin Station in the 1970s TV Series of Enid Blytons Famous Five
Very good and the weather was great too...nice one old chap!
Who says crossing keepers get no exercise ! Great videos, thank you for sharing.
Great selection mate! I arrived too late for 60039 on Wednesday, was sat in the car at crossing as it went over! Caught the rather short return though!
brillant vid great mix! alway interested in frieight passing thru marchwood to ether m.o.d or esso great vid and hope to one day het dwn there myself
Interesting video!
Yeah it's a good little station, when you do go down there introduce yourself to the signalman Steve, he is very nice and likes to know what you do ect.
Thanks :)
Thanks, I would have missed 60039 myself if my Tug sensor in my brain didn't wake me up in time to get down there.
When you say 'private station' surely it's part of Network Rail? One of your other vids mentions the station being a public place.
Still 14 movements a day on the line?
It is a private station and yes it's all owned by Network Rail however it's not a public place. It's down to the signalman there if he is okay with you being there on the ground of your intended business, mine being to film trains. I have got to know the signalman there over the years and we are now good friends. My older videos would state that, as back then I didn't know much about it but the signalman let me on as he knew my dad. Now I am a bit older and much wiser I now know the rules a bit better. I wouldn't say 14 movements, that might have been the case years ago. I would say on average 3 workings, 6 movements each way a day. Most of the workings down the line run as required so only one train might go down there on some days. Thanks Justin F

Why aren't the signals being used? I can't understand why there is a signaller who doesn't operate any signals.
The signals were being used and can be clearly seen in use on this video. He operates the signals all the time.
The loco sounds like an Alco
At 12:12 what is the guy on the track giving to the train driver?.
It's a single line token. I take it you don't know what that is?
No.
Nicholas Watson In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a locomotive driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the name of the section it belongs to. A token system is used for single lines because of the very much greater risk of serious collision in the event of irregular working by signalmen or traincrews, than on double lines.
