I'll stick with the voyagers or hst's for the Newton A to Exeter run but for a daytrip out to Dawlish, it was pretty good.

Try one on a trip to Exmouth or Barnstaple, where there are long sections of jointed rail. It's a bit different!

Not a problem, I just wondered what sort of tidal wave had brought it all the way up to Bristol!
