Devon Sea Wall Section part I

    Slightly to the west of Dawlish and the line carves its way through numerous sandstone outcrops right on the waters edge. 43171 brings its train out of the 209 yard long Kennaway Tunnel with 1C32 1133 Paddington to Penzance. Several people are enjoying the beach and the sunshine.
    An up HST set speeds beside the sea bound for Paddington, leaving Plymouth at 1325 as 1A61. A pleasant scene is recorded here.
    Another move to another sea wall section, this time at Teignmouth further west along the coast. 43125 passes a life bouy and lifeline mounted on the boundary wall. The train is 1A63 1417 Paignton to Paddington.
