First of all sorry as i had my camera on a very low res setting for the first few shots and didnt realise until it was too late.
Normally i do not get voyager numbers as alot of the time i rely on zooming in on the photograph for it , and due to the placement of the numbers on these units its not always possible, however this time i went rite upto both ends of the unit and no numbers were displayed?

The only access to the station that does not involve a boat or walking the tracks ( yes some di**s still do this!)
Help Point Starcross station
Via Flickr:
One of two new help points installed by first great western as part of the franchise commitment.... it will be interesting how the sea air effects these... well they will probably in fairness be better off than the poor units that have to put up with chavs
Exmouth - Starcross Ferry Sign At Starcross Station
Via Flickr:
The station at starcross also acts as an interchange for the ferry to exmouth.... so you can get off the train thats going to exmouth and get on a ferry that goes to...ummm...exmouth, ok thats probably not what its designed for but i will have to take a trip on this one day !
Dmu StopBoards
Via Flickr:
................. well for those who dont know what these are.... they remind drivers of where to stop at a station .... the big numbers are for number of carriages , and the 14x+153 is for types of unit.... in this case a unit in the class 140-144 (to be honest it will be 142 or 143...) consisting of 2 cars attached to a 153 making 3 cars in total
Posters At Starcross Station
Via Flickr:
Some people take photos of the station sign, others of the station entrance....i think im going to collect photos of these...... i have too much time on my hands!
Starcross Station At Dusk

Looking towards dawlish showing the footbridge and both waiting shelters (the original one closest to the camera has no seats, and the seats in the newer shelter are just a bench) the main entrance is hidden just behind the salt bin

Starcross Railway Station

While its not a perfect station for photographing trains, and from a passenger point of view it is pretty basic.... this is one of my favorite stations in the south west
