Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Up 'Devonian' approaching Dawlish.
The well-known preserved Collett-design 4-6-0 No. 7029 'Clun Castle' (built 5/50, withdrawn 11/65 - the Last of the Class and preserved - in 2011 at Tyseley Locomotive Works) is a fine sight here running along the sea-front at Dawlish. This is one of the endless procession of holiday expresses to be seen at this ideal location on Summer Saturdays, which reached their zenith in 1955. The 'Devonian' ran daily (not Sundays) from Paignton (dep. 09.15; on Saturdays, Kingswear 08.45) to Bradford Forster Square (due 19.00), via Bristol, Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds: on Saturdays the stop at Bristol Temple Meads was missed and the changeover to LMR working was made on the St Philip's Marsh Loop. The train has just emerged from Kennaway Tunnel, the last of five under the headland between Teignmouth and Dawlish - often referred to collectively as 'Parson's Tunnel' after Parson's Rock.
