    Nice photos there. What's going on with the signal box at Dawlish I see from your photos it's been covered in plastic sheeting?


    Thanks

    Dawlish Box is actually listed but is in a parlous state. I don't know if NR have any plans for it, other than to let it deteriorate to the point of no return. Is it salvageable, to be turned into something St. Albans South -esque? Lovely location!
