From Wellington:
Head along the A38 towards Exeter. About a mile out of Wellington you will come to a roundabout take the 2nd exit. Continue about 3/4 mile until you see the sign for Sampford Arundel.

From Tiverton:
On the A38 head towards Wellington past Whiteball. Head down a long hill. At the foot of the hill you will see a sign for Sampford Arundel.

You will also find a pub called the Inn at Sampford. Turn right here. A few yards on turn right again until you see a lay-by. Park here the track is visible.

There is a Lay-by for parking plus the pub has a car park.

There is a bus stop next to the Inn at Sampford. Both the 92 (Taunton to Exeter) and the 92A (Tiverton to Taunton) buses stop there. If in doubt ask the bus driver to let you know where to get off. Beam Bridge is well known on this route.

There are facilities available in the nearby pub.

The Beambridge Inn offers accomodation and is a few minutes walk to the north east of the location.

Light is best in the afternoon and early evening. If the sun is out early morning shots are particularly difficult. You can easily shoot both directions. The best position is halfway down the track. This location is excellent for shooting both up and down trains.
As the location is fairly rural it is excellent for video as there is little outside noise.
