Dawlish Trainwatch
2008

Weekend
25th -28th July 2008

Bookings now closed

We are off on Friday 25th July on the 14.06 ex Paddington.

A report and pictures of the Dawlish Trainwatch will appear on these pages in the near future.

The aim is to observe and record the busy summer traffic along the highly photogenic sea wall stretch of main line in the vicinity of Dawlish on the Saturday, and then to photograph down and up workings of, or perhaps ride, the Torbay Express from Exeter on the Sunday.

Most workings last year were handled by 6024 King Edward I. An optional later return is proposed for the Monday allowing visits to Paignton, Plymouth or Exeter as required. Our activities will be dependent on the weather, of course!! .
