David T. tries a new spot at Exeter David Tozer I tried a new location for the return Torbay Express, 1650 Kingswear to Bristol (Temple Meads). 60009 'Union of South Africa' crosses the River Exe Flood Relief Channel. Many thanks David. Plymouth Clive Smith ![]() On a dull day 50008 pulls out of Plymouth station passing the old disused signal box on the 23rd January 1982 with the 11.15 Plymouth to Manchester Piccadilly. This loco made a triumphant return to passenger work after 28 years on the 27th July 2019 with the 'Return Of Thunder Vac' charter from Derby to Carlisle. Copyright Clive Smith. Many thanks Clive. Lil Davy's Bridge Colin Burges Wednesday the 7th August was my last chance of the week for a ride out and although there was a heavy shower in Marsh Barton while I was in my truck collecting bits, the day turned out very nicely. I rode out to Stoke Canon and then through Killerton, Clyst Hydon and Payhembury along empty lanes with wonderful views to Sidmouth Junction, whence I followed the Southern back to town, clocking 43 miles. Many thanks Colin. - but the question is 'Who was Lil Davy'? Answers please! ![]() Looking down the line from the platform at Whimple, Exeter and the high ground beyond appear out of the haze. Both main lines climb from near sea level in Exeter. The Western skirts the Blackdowns at Whiteball, while the Southern clips the hill range at Honiton; both reach about 400 feet. The Teign Valley Branch reached just short of this in five miles. 7th August 2019. Copyright Colin Burges. Comments are closed.
