A Two-Way Station
Exeter St. Davids station is unusual in that the two London services to Paddington and Waterloo leave in opposite directions.
When the two companies; GWR and LSWR were racing to get the mail from America to London, that had been dropped off at Plymouth, the trains used to pass through in opposite directions.
We sometimes wonder why things are not logical on British trains. But often, it’s down to what happened in the 19th century.
