its rare that i hear of Dawlish, being from Oldham, but i can just about remember going with my parents and grandparents when i was a kid, probably late 70's. Its odd what sticks in your mind but i always remember cornishware being there. i still like it now, maybe thats why...
+geert goethals On this line, you get China clay traffic from Cornwall to the Midlands and Timber traffic, in addition to the odd aggregates, flask or engineer working.
Nice footage. Like the way you have captured trains as they follow the bay around, from one end to another. A classic location.
Trust you to pick a superb location and make the most it! It deserves many expressions of appreciation.

I live in Paignton so I'm about 20 mins away from Dawlish on the train. I love Dawlish for seeing trains. Great and rare to see the 2 class 43's!
bmxwaffle hello I went to dawlish two Saturday this year in June
Great footage, this is a cracking spot.
Yes, very nice to see, thanks Matt
Spectacular
Brilliant. Thank you :D
Brilliant thanks
how much travelling are you doing????
How long where you there for
@ 11.46 Never seen an hst with just two power cars before. Any ideas ?
+Stuart Hamilton That is rather rare, the coaching rake must be elsewhere.
I've seen one before, they are usually just being moved to or from a depot or they are on a test run
If you had carried on filming for another 30 minutes you would have caught the GWR green livery 150 unit.
no freight in that part of the U K..?
+geert goethals Very few and far between. Thats why I was quite lucky to catch the Colas Rail Freight class 70!

why is there coal on the tracks
+xboxgamer It's ballast, not coal.
+Owen Evans what's it supposed to do?
xboxgamer It provides a stable bed for the track, and allows for water drainage.
+Owen Evans Thanks, that's 5 years of not knowing turned into a short and simple explication
British trains are so much better than american trains, there always mostly on time, except Arriva, and they look better.
