Watchet Camera 1 (West Somerset Railway) - In partnership with Watchet Visitor Centre | Railcam UK

Railcam are delighted to be partnering Watchet Visitor Centre & Boat Museum, in a project that aims to increase our coverage of the delightful West Somerset Railway, whilst also helping to promote the Somerset harbour town to a wider audience.
The project is kindly funded by Watchet Town Council and Somerset Council to support the promotion of the town, with two cameras situated at the Watchet Visitor Centre/Watchet Boat Museum building. The cameras were installed by the Railcam team, who will manage and maintain them moving forward.
Camera 1 gives us an excellent view of the approaches to Watchet Station which was originally the terminus of Brunel's broad gauge that opened to Taunton in 1862. You’ll see trains arriving and departing to Minehead with the camera directly above Minehead bound departing locomotives, providing a unique view over the drivers shoulder as crews prepare for the guards whistle.
