And I find myself guessing (carefully chosen wording as I don't know the place!) at Churston.

It appears to have very two very substantial platforms so somewhere on the withered arm, i.e the ex LSWR▸ (London South Western Railway) branches in North Devon.

Okehampton? That would account for the unit.

Oh.  Thanks, relex109 - but I'm giving devon_metro the benefit of the doubt, here: he lives in south Devon, so he knows it's not on his local preserved line.  Wink

As I was just about to post:

No, sorry, grahame - I've discounted the Paignton - Kingswear line, if only because Liam would have shouted 'house!' by now, if it was anywhere on that line!  Grin

Liam - by the way - do you have a clue?  (In exchange for a National Rail Travel Voucher, perhaps?)
