Trains Along Dawlish Seawall, A Spectacular Winters Day! 28/01/16

I usually save my trips down to Dawlish for the summer and the better weather however on January 28th I saw that the forecast was reasonably clear, despite the cold temperatures and thought I'd go the beautiful Dawlish seawall and do some filming. Let's just say I'm glad I did. The weather was beautiful, a bit breezy and a few showers but overall it was a perfect winters day, the lighting at times was just incredible, glistening off the trains as they snake their way around the Devon Coastline. In this video I tried out a few new filming locations which I was more than pleased with. I decided to walk from Dawlish more or less right down to Dawlish Warren and stop and film along the way. I made it down to the curve which offers some beautiful opportunities for filming the trains sweep around the curve and then a clear view of them all the way around the bay. As well as here for the first time I climbed "Langstone" rock. This small peninsular which offers an almost aerial view of the railway. All of these fantastic spots and videos not to mention of the trains that turned up. The new GWR Green Set HST, 2 HST powercars back to back shuttling to Old Oak Common (London) from Laira Depot (Plymouth) and a Colas Rail Freight Class 70! As well as lots more of the regulars to Dawlish, HST's, 150's & 153's, Voyagers and the odd Pacer.
Thanks for Watching!
Hope you enjoyed viewing it almost as much as I enjoyed filming it, one of my favourite visits to Dawlish and I think one of my best videos from the seawall.

Nice footage. Like the way you have captured trains as they follow the bay around, from one end to another. A classic location.

[@Louisa93able]

Trust you to pick a superb location and make the most it! It deserves many expressions of appreciation.

[@markorollo.]

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...

[@JamesDTapley]

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!

[@oldder1]

Brilliant thanks

[@fatwalletboy2]

how much travelling are you doing????

[@steamisbest]

If you had carried on filming for another 30 minutes you would have caught the GWR green livery 150 unit.

[@stuad70]

@ 11.46 Never seen an hst with just two power cars before. Any ideas ?

[@owenevans83]

+Stuart Hamilton That is rather rare, the coaching rake must be elsewhere.

[@tescolemonbleach2367]

I've seen one before, they are usually just being moved to or from a depot or they are on a test run

[@winkymick]

How long where you there for

[@degust01]

no freight in that part of the U K..?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

+geert goethals Very few and far between. Thats why I was quite lucky to catch the Colas Rail Freight class 70!

[@owenevans83]

+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.

[@xboxgamer9680]

why is there coal on the tracks

[@owenevans83]

+xboxgamer It's ballast, not coal.

[@xboxgamer9680]

+Owen Evans what's it supposed to do?

[@owenevans83]

xboxgamer It provides a stable bed for the track, and allows for water drainage.

[@xboxgamer9680]

+Owen Evans Thanks, that's 5 years of not knowing turned into a short and simple explication

[@LondonEmergency999]

British trains are so much better than american trains, there always mostly on time, except Arriva, and they look better.
