West Somerset Railway Live – Williton Camera 1

About this camera

This live Railcam at Williton on the West Somerset Railway faces toward Minehead. You can see both running lines, the line to Minehead on the left and the line from Minehead on the right, plus part of the DEPG yard, where heritage diesel locomotives are restored and maintained.

Williton is a passing station on the West Somerset Railway, one of the longest heritage lines in Britain, which runs for around 20 miles from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead. The Diesel and Electric Preservation Group is based here, looking after a collection of classic British Rail diesel locomotives, including Western and Class 33 types, that appear at galas and on service trains.

## What to watch for

  • Trains crossing at the passing loop
  • Heritage diesels in the DEPG yard
  • Steam locomotives on service trains

Williton's traditional signal box and station buildings add to its period charm. Trains run mainly from spring to autumn, and the railway's diesel and steam galas draw enthusiasts from across the country. Railcam has eleven cameras along the WSR. The stream is provided by RailcamLive - WSR.
