We get some interesting trains through Dawlish, today, 27 April 2020 was no exception, with Class 66s Nos. 66155 and 66017 top and tale of MPV DR98906 and DR98956, set up for weed control work, running as train 3Z15 09.32 Didcot to St Blazey. The train is supported by the two 66s to enable social distancing of the train crew.

Picture
Well my walk on 24 April 2020 had to be done an hour or so earlier than planned as the train of the day, 5M59 11.37 Laira depot to Leicester depot ran some 102min early in the west country. Good job it did as a little trace of good light was still available. The train consisted of two barrier coaches 6330 and 6338 and passes below Black Bridge, usually called Rockstone Bridge on the Dawlish Sea Wall.

Only a short walk of about 50 steps today to provide the Dawlish Daily News. Great Western refurbished HST set GW11 (well almost), the final set of the conversion project, was returned to Laira today 23 April 2020 from Wabtec Doncaster. The train formed of vehicles barrier 6330, 49113, 48123, 48134, 48133, 49111 and barrier 6338 were powered by ROG Class 37 No. 37884 operating as 5V84, 11.33 Doncaster Wabtec to Laira, and is seen passing along the Dawlish Sea Wall on the approach to Kennaway Tunnel, passing the new sea wall top section.

The only thing that Dawlish Daily News can bring you today, 21 April 2020 is a VERY rare six car DMU working of 143620, 150265 and 150249 passing Dawlish as 5Z76 13.45 Laira depot to Exeter depot (running a tad early). 143620 and 150249 had earlier worked empty from Exeter to Laira to collect defective 150265.

Picture
My mornings walk turned out to be more complicated and strenuous than planned on 20 April 2020, as BAM have now closed the sea wall walkway between the viaduct and Coastguards bridge to enable deep soil and bedrock sampling. However, after climbing up and down stairs and meeting a few odd people, I reached the sea wall from when I managed to capture DB Class 66 No. 66082 hauling RailVac 3 - No. 7095150030 as train 6X54, the 05.30 Burngullow to Westbury. The RailVac had been working over the weekend in Cornwall. Return had to be the same way - too many steps.

It is very kind of these men at Freightliner to provide a suitable pictorial subject just when it was 'Walkies' time. On 4 April 2020, Class 66 No. 66522 leads a long welded rail delivery train (with No. 66532 on the rear) as train 6Y97, 13.30 Westbury to Lostwithiel via Ponsandane.

Picture
Well, after yesterdays erection (1 April 2020) of the first three top panels of the new Dawlish Sea Wall. The walk on 2 April was to see how it looks from the sea side. Voyager No. 220015 is seen heading west on the down line with 1V42, 06.10 Derby to Plymouth. They have kept their word and the top will still allow passengers on trains to see the sea and view. At present the actual walking level has still to be considerable raised, as at present the top of the concrete return wall is about 7ft 6in above the walkway. For those interested, cement pumping continued all night at the Kennaway end, with very little more to install at this stage. Work on the drains at the tunnel end is continuing.

Picture
150239 and 150249 pass along the new Dawlish sea wall, note first hop panels fitted at far end. 2F12 09.17 Paignton - Exmouth. 2 April 2020.

My walk on 1 April 2020 had to be timed with the passing of a rather unusual working 6Z83, 12.10 Newton Abbot Hackney Yard to Westbury, formed of Colas Rail Freight Class 70 No. 70807 and one 4-wheel PCA cement wagon No. 10683. The PCA was taken out of an Aberthaw to Moorswater cement working several months ago with wheel set issues and has been at Hackney yard ever since. The train with a load of just 44 tonnes and 28ft in length is seen approaching Dawlish station.
