The first is almost certainly Exeter Central.

The second could be Paignton. Someone else can guess number three!

honiton has a footbridge and a siding and no level crossing

i failed to show it in the picture so this is not a clue but similar to honiton it does revert to single line and served by fgw only

Ah yes... I just looked on Google maps and i've discovered that Hontion does not have a level crossing... I must have been thinking of somewhere else...! In which case i've run out of ideas...!

Then the only other station ive been to with a level crossing just after the station is Wokingham.

Thats my final suggestion fpr number 2 (assuming that is the one we're still waiting for! I've lost track)
