Anyone else catch that 30 minute railway programme last evening? It was based down here abouts and one of the places it featured was - Dawlish.
What fantastic free publicity for the town.
(I used the title above as that is how Michael Portillo described the town)
Yes we saw it two, lovely view of old rusty, more should be made in the town of the Brunel legacy and for once we where not overshadowed by Teignmouth
Thanks for that Lynne.
Didn't see it last night, have just watched it, brilliant.
I missed it but watched this morning, great pity it was filmed when the old tired railway footbridge was in situ though.
My eight year old grandson phoned today to say had I seen it, he said it made him sad to see old rusty again and he is looking forward to seeing the new bridge when he comes down at half term. He likes to come to Dawlish as he thinks it is a nice little town with lots of lovely people, "out of the mouths of babes".
Missed this episode, I have to admit I have enjoyed his travels through devon and was looking forward to this one. Will catch up with it on iPlayer hopefully. the closing credits for this series include footage of the steam train at the warren and past the coastguard cottages.
Please
