Dawlish
11th July 2008

Admittedly not up to Colin Marsden's standards, so here are a few of my pathetic efforts-many in awful weather!

**I thoroughly recommend The Blenheim B&B if you're looking for accommodation, just 200 yards from Dawlish Station. For a small extra charge, you can book a room overlooking the railway, less than 100 yards away!!**

A Class 142 arrives at Dawlish on the 0709 Paignton-Exeter Central. The pink building is The Blenheim, a B&B which I stayed at and can thoroughly recommend-if the proprieters read this!!
