Hullabaloo at Dawlish! Having seen the train traverse the Exmouth branch at Topsham, I have now dashed over to Dawlish to catch it heading west. This is the Pathfinder Tours "Hullaba-Looe" railtour to Exmouth and Looe, two branch lines rarely visited in one day at anytime, let alone on a railtour! At 12.52 DRS Class 37s nos. 37609 and 37218 lead, with no. 37608 on the back, with the 1Z92 09.51 Bristol Temple Meads to Liskeard, via Exmouth. The train has passed through the station and is about to enter Kennaway Tunnel. The weather was not great, as evidenced by the puddles on the sea wall, but the effort was certainly worth it!
