Sorry, no. I could say that you're on the right lines, but that would be somewhat misleading Wink

It strikes me as "preserved" because of all the track and stock ... but further suggestions might be quite wild guesses.  You are - I think - saying "heritage but not West Somerset"?

Well, I'm not going to spoil anyone's fun - because I just don't know.  Roll Eyes

However, I can tell you where it isn't (to save you all the same amount of time I have just spent, searching to no effect)!

It isn't Bishops Lydeard (but I see your line of thinking, grahame,: there are several features similar to there!); nor is it Cranmore (East Somerset); nor Buckfastleigh or Staverton (South Devon); nor Grosmont, Levisham or Goathland (North Yorkshire Moors).

So, I just don't know.  It seems to be somewhere much smaller - in a cutting, or valley, surrounded by trees?

A good challenge, TerminalJunkie!  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

A good question, relex109!

Without much in the way of clues from TerminalJunkie, I went as far as North Yorkshire - but it didn't do me any good!

So yes, T_J - any chance of another clue?

Most definitely - it's in Devon.
