Dawlish Station And The New Sea Wall – 4th July 2023
These pictures show Dawlish station and the new sea wall.
Note.
- It is a high quality sea wall.
- I particularly liked the hand-rails which seemed to be made from an expensive sea-proof metal.
- There was a busy fish and chip shop, by the station, but I don’t think they did gluten-free fish and chips.
You can still walk all the way to Dawlish Warren, as I did in Walking Between Dawlish And Dawlish Warren Stations. A guy in the station said it would take me about thirty minutes.
Exeter St. Davids To Dawlish – 4th July 2023
I took these pictures as I travelled between Exeter St.Davids and Dawlish stations.
This OpenRailway map shows the route of the line between Exeter St. Davids and Plymouth stations.
Note.
- The line is shown in orange.
- Exeter St. Davids station is at the top of the map.
- The blue arrow marks the position of the new Marsh Barton station, which opened to the public today.
- Stations in order from the North on the line are Starcross, Dawlish Warren, Dawlish, Teignmouth and Newton Abbot.
- The line follows the Western bank of the River Exe to the sea.
- On my view, it is one of the most spectacular rail lines in the UK.
But the sea can get very angry, as I saw in An Angry Sea At Dawlish.
