Starcross. Now I'm just thinking about *Romeo and Juliet* and if it were set in fair Devon instead of fair Verona.


andpaws

..is what it says on the sign.


CorporalRutland

I used reasoning and logic to solve the puzzle, what was I thinking? 😱 The extra effort in my reply was a nice touch, no?


IAmDyspeptic

I appreciated it.


Dzambor

"Mind the step"?


Sure-Pen5780

The sign on the lamppost, on the other platform where the railing curves. Weird sentence sorry. And I don't know if you're being sarcastic so sorry for bothering.


Dzambor

That was just my sense of humor after 12h shift, nothing serious just being a bit goofy.


nafregit

always fancied going there, getting the ferry across to Exmouth then the train back round.


messygiraffeshapes69

That's what I meant! Accidentally wrote Topsham though .


nsefan

New York Penn station (before they ruined it)


FlyingDutchman2005

I think this one might be a bit too easy


boatsplanestrains

I didnt realise the name was visible 🙃


mooninuranus

Ah, it’s ’Mind the step’ station.


boatsplanestrains

🙃


tinnyobeer

I've been trained to dispatch there. One of only a handful of people!


boatsplanestrains

Wow! Why such a small number of people?


tinnyobeer

Because it's an unmanned station, but in Powderham Castle just up the road, they have gigs on, and people get the train so they can drink


boatsplanestrains

Ah interesting! My folks live there now and so I get the train a lot when I visit them. Once the train driver mostly overshot the platform, I assume they started stopping when they saw me waiting, as the train was indeed expected to stop there. I had to get on using the only door that was over the platform, and it took a while for them to let me on and then get going again! Most faster trains don't stop there, so I assume they got confused


tinnyobeer

It happens. I once had an XC service completely overshoot Teignmouth because they usually go fast to Exeter from Newton Abbot but there were 3 up services a day that stopped there


boatsplanestrains

Oh wow, teignmouth used to be my home station and I never saw that happen!


tinnyobeer

I was there for 7 years 2010-2017

Not me waiting for a train to zoom past thinking this is a video 💀


boatsplanestrains

Hehe! You do have to watch out when using the level crossing :)


Robmeu

Starcross, I live there and have used it many times. Lovely place to wait in the summer!


boatsplanestrains

My folks live there now so I was visiting for Christmas! :)

CorporalRutland

This is the cultured answer.


KingBruceIII

Used to be an amazing chippy attached to the station


boatsplanestrains

I know! I do miss it!!


Salt-Top-1307

Wow, I have so many memories of this station when I stayed here for 2 weeks 😅


boatsplanestrains

There is a cute Air bnb just over the road! It's a funny little village :)


Salt-Top-1307

I stayed in a cute cottage-house near the station! It really is a funny village, I hope the Spar is still there! Friendly people, I love Devon and can’t drive so it was a good spot to travel from ☺️


boatsplanestrains

Awww nice! The spar is still there! I still get IDed every time I go in there for wine when I'm back, even though I know some of the staff by name😂


Affectionate_Bill530

Did you sleep in the waiting room? I can’t imagine staying at a station for 2 weeks but I’m guessing you’re a train spotter which would make sense out of staying at a station for that long.


Salt-Top-1307

No I stayed in a cottage near by 😂 bless you - no!!


Affectionate_Bill530

🤦🏻‍♀️ duh, I get it now! My autism 😏 my support worker would laugh at this 😊


Salt-Top-1307

Don’t you worry 🩷

I didn't even see the sign and recognised it at Starcross. Lived there for a summer and I adored getting the ferry across to Exmouth. That was over 10 years ago now - feels like yesterday.


boatsplanestrains

That's so nice :) my folks live there now and i love the town so much!


igual88

Definitely Starcross, we got stranded their fir 2 hours on a February evening after train was hit by a tree. Wanded off to the pub in the end to defrost lol whilst Mrs drove from Torbay to get us, we took 3 other stranded peeps as well that were heading that way , the train company were bloody useless.

ExcitingGuard2969

Dawlish warren ?


bikerslut69

can't fool me - it says right there on the platform, 'mind the step'. somewhere in norfolk isn't it?


boatsplanestrains

Not at all!


boatsplanestrains

However, having embarked and disembarked from starcross many times, I am almost entirely sure the platform is lower than it should be, as its a bloody massive step to mind, so the sign is needed. It's defo knee level on me, and with the gap between the platform, I had some major trouble getting my suitcase onto the train last time :)

Dawlish


barronelli

Starcross, starcross, where the f—k is Starcoss? Had never heard of it until today. Now I wish I hadn’t Googled it.


boatsplanestrains

It's a little village settled between Dawlish and Exeter on the river Exe in Devon! It looks across to Exmouth, with the trainline on the other side of the river visible! You can also get a ferry across the river depending on the time of year! It doesn't have much other than a spar, a church and a primary school though !


barronelli

Funny, a river named after a file extension…
