SR Bulleid Light Pacific on WR train beside the sea near Dawlish
View along the sea-front just NE of Dawlish, towards Exeter etc.: ex-GWR South Devon main line. To familiarise staff with the alternative ex-GWR and ex-LSWR routes, for many years one train a day between Exeter and Plymouth was worked by engines and crews of the other system. This was why a SR engine was working the 11.35 Exeter St Davids - Plymouth North Road. This is Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34038 'Lynton' (built 9/46 as No. 21C138, renumbered 2/49, withdrawn (unrebuilt) 6/66).

Alternative route of the South West Coast Path to the rear of Rockstone flats, Dawlish
Between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren the South West Coast Path runs along Brunel's sea wall by the railway and along the beach. In the event of rough seas battering the sea wall or the tide covering the beach, this alternative route, left, along the cliffs is recommended. The path at lower right leads to a footbridge over the railway and on to the sea wall. The rear of Rockstone flats is seen, left.
