A week around
Dawlish and Teignmouth

​Work patterns saw me on repeat visits to Teignmouth and Dawlish over the last week allowing me an opportunity in lockdown to record some activity during the weather changes.

(1) I headed down to Parsons Tunnel in the bitterly cold howling wind and fortunately high tide was not due for over three hours so an ice cold shower was thankfully avoided. 43208 heads the 06.06 Edinburgh - Plymouth with 43285 on the rear on the 11th February. Copyright Clive Smith.

(2)A miserable Sunday morning on the 14th February as the sea wall at Teignmouth takes a pummelling. This was at 09.55 with high tide just passed at 08.11 and the both lines had been closed until 10.25 when single line working was introduced until 13.00 when both lines then operated.

(3) A grey train on a grey day at Dawlish Warren. This is 43207 leading with 43378 on rear of the 08.11 Leeds - Plymouth also on the 14th February. The HST was held at the signal expecting to go down the 'up' line but was given the 'road' on the down. Copyright Clive Smith

(4) A Cross Country HST enters Dawlish with the 12.27 Plymouth - Edinburgh on the 18th February.The rear power car is 43239 and the front is 43366. Despite a few showers floating around it was by and large a gloriously sunny day. This was taken from Lea Mount above Kennaway Tunnel. Copyright Clive Smith.

What a range of views and weathers covered in just a little over one and a half miles. Many thanks Clive.
