Editing Tarka Line (section)

=== Operation ===

The line is single track with passing loops at Crediton and Eggesford. The only [[signal box]] is at Crediton.<ref name="RTD"/> Its semaphore signals and mechanical lever frame were replaced by electric signals and an electric signalling panel on 16 December 1984. Trains between Crediton and Barnstaple are controlled by [[Token (railway signalling)|tokens]] which ensure there is just one train on the line at any time. Train drivers exchange their token in the No Signalman Token Remote (NSTR) equipment at Eggesford.<ref name=NDL-141>{{harvnb|Nicholas|1992|pages=141–143}}</ref>
