The Paignton & Kingswear Railway runs past the expanse of Goodrington Sands. The locomotive is Great Western Railway No. 6023 King Edward II in experimental BR blue. This is a Marmite livery but I like it. The observation car is an extra fee to ride but is best enjoyed without the bulk of a 'King' in the way.
