I am not absolutely sure how my teacher from school and I managed to get to this illicit spot off Forde Park Road in Newton Abbot but it certainly offered commanding views of the four-track route south of Newton Abbot station. Having recently received a re-paint and, still some two years away from a full refurbishment, 50028 'Tiger' gets the 08.40 Liverpool to Penzance away from Newton Abbot station.
There is an audio recording of this event on my youtube channel, see....
