Blue Anchor Station - West Somerset Railway, UK

Camera byRailcamLive - WSR↗

Blue Anchor is a tiny seaside station on the West Somerset Railway in England, and this camera looks along its platform toward Dunster and Minehead, with green hills rising behind the old station buildings.


On operating days, classic steam and diesel trains stop here on their way between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead, passing the signal box that first opened in 1904 to work the gates on the level crossing.


The line very nearly disappeared. It closed in 1971, but local volunteers fought to save it and reopened it in 1976, which means 2026 is its 50th year running as a heritage railway.


Did You Know? The beach at Blue Anchor faces the Bristol Channel, which has one of the biggest tidal ranges in the world. The water can rise and fall by more than 40 feet (12 meters) in a single tide.
