Of all the locations that have changed over the years it is Newton Abbot that has seen the most radical. Despite thirty one years passing since the 1987 rationalisation I still find it strange being on the station without automatically thinking of the past. These pictures show the changes looking east from the end of the station. The first shows 45064 heading the 06.35 Bristol TM - Plymouth on 26th August 1983. This train conveyed a number of parcel vans. The wonderful signal box and points and wooden pole lighting complete the scene. Fast forward to 9th October 2018 and an HST heads east with the 12.55 Plymouth - Paddington. The scene is now one of rationalised track, weeds and what looks like a tree explosion where the box once stood.
