The Dawlish Warren station seen in this photograph was opened

in 1912 by the GWR replacing a much smaller station slightly further west where the 1873 footbridge, that is still in use today, is located. The station's purpose is to serve the adjacent holiday parks and enjoyed a great deal of use during the heyday of British staycation period during the mid-twentieth century. 25225 brings the 2B34 Exeter St. David's to Paignton stopper into the station passing the GW signal box. Notice the line of vintage Thorlux lights stretching the length of the up platform that would have probably been installed during Great Western days
