Wikipedia Dawlish railway station is on the Exeter to Plymouth line and serves the town of Dawlish in Devon, England. It is 12 miles 15 chains (19.6 km) down the line from Exeter St Davids and 206 miles 7 chains (331.7 km) measured from London Paddington via Bristol Temple Meads.
The station is built on the sea wall, as is the railway line, and has often suffered from storm damage due its proximity to the sea. South of the station the line passes through five tunnels through the cliffs as it follows the coast.

Great Scenic Railways Dawlish is a great Regency resort town, famous for the way the railway runs right along the town’s seafront.
The town is centred around a wide open green called The Lawn, which is ideal for games and picnics and the famous black swans.
The long sandy beach is perfect for summer days of swimming, rock pooling or building sandcastles.
You can also hop by train to neighbouring Dawlish Warren and visit the National Nature Reserve.

Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership The Riviera Line is one of the country’s best-loved railways, but hit the headlines in 2014 when it sustained devastating storm damage. Thanks to an EU-funded project led by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership, we helped the line to bounce back even stronger than before.
Our EU Citizens’ Rail project (2012-2015) enabled the Partnership to work in depth on the Exeter-Paignton line for the first time. Funding from the Interreg IVB NWE programme, Devon County Council, Torbay Council and Great Western Railway (GWR) helped deliver additional services, station improvements, community engagement and a sustained marketing campaign for the line. This helped the line to rapidly recover from its eight-week closure in early 2014. In the year from October 2014 to October 2015, 3 million journeys were made on the Riviera Line.
