An unknown "Alpha Line" liveried two car Class 158 diesel unit drops down the lower reaches of Dainton at Kerswell Bridge heading for Newton Abbot working Wales & West's 07:50 service from Penzance to Portsmouth Harbour on Wednesday the 19th of June 2002.
An unknown First Great Western (FGW) power car leads the mid-morning service from London Paddington to Penzance, once known as "The Cornish Riviera Express"; as it climbs towards Dainton Tunnel on the approach to Kerswell Bridge at Stoneycombe on Saturday the 7th of November 2009.
Alone I shall now walk.
All alone with nobody near.
And nobody to hear.
As I roam alone.
Desperately searching.
Needing the answers why?
God life can be cruel.
I now shall walk alone.
For I shall be on my own.
I roam alone.
If the living world is like this.
What is the dying world like?
I shall not know yet.
But alone in the venture.
I shall walk.
To try to make something of my life.
When I find myself
I shall not walk alone
Amy Kerswell
After years and years of running to the same times Network Rail in their wisdom (?) have re-timed the St. Blazey based Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT) to run under the cover of darkness this year.
So for anybody who might be missing them - here is one from eleven years ago.
DB Schenker Class 66 #66011 leads the St. Blazey based Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT) west on the lower slopes of Dainton at Kerswell Bridge on the early afternoon of Saturday the 13th of October 2012. A few more trips around the West of England and the "Maroon & Gold" will have disappeared under a covering of muck!

Full Sun and Clag, what's going on ? For the first time in yonks a proper steam train producing a spectacle as it makes its way to Plymouth with the 0847 from Bristol. A 47 will take the Royal Duchy forward to Par.
I had grown accustomed to steam locos not producing any steam or clag when running in the summer. The combination of cooler air from the north and the gradient here at Kerswell Bridge made for this pleasant surprise.
Seen on the monthly jolly to the Southwest, the Network Measurement train is seen climbing Dainton passing Kerswell bridge with power provided by 43062 & 43013 in typical summer weather!
Deepest Devon, Stoneycombe Quarry is the backdrop as 37025 rattles downhill from Dainton. Proof there are some nice views in Devon apart from the constant Dawlish trite. The loco had run down light engine to Tavistock Jn from Westbury the previous day. The wagons are only partly loaded after the weekends engineering work was suspended part way after 70803 collided with another train.

There are 3 windows in St. Mary's church at Marlingford in Norfolk dedicated to Sub Lieutenant Edward Travers Fletcher RN who died on HM Submarine A-8. The windows of 'Faith' and 'Charity' were installed by Edward's family while 'Hope' was provided by his fellow officers. The windows were made by the firm of James Powell and Sons, also known as Whitefriars Glass, of Whitefriares in London.
In loving memory of Sub Lieut:
Edward Travers Fletcher R.N.
who lost his live in the accident
to Submarine A8 on 8th June
1905. This window is dedicated by
his Brother Sub Lieutenants.
Edward Travers Fletcher was born on 20th. August 1884 at Marlingford in Norfolk, the son of master printer Benjamin Edgington Fletcher and Susan Nethersole Fletcher, nee Davies of The Hall, Barford Road, Marlingford.
The census of 1901 records the 16 year old Edward as a Midshipman on board a Royal Navy ship docked at Gibraltar.
On the morning of 8th. June 1905 the A8 was on a routine training exercise with the A7 just outside the Plymouth Breakwater. Routine practice aboard the A8 was to run on the surface with her conning tower hatch open.
After reaching Plymouth Breakwater, an initial dive ended in the A8 surfacing. The crew of an escorting surface torpedo boat spotted that the A8 was in trouble. The A8 had developed a list and was sitting lower and lower in the water until she slide below the water bow first, showing her stern to the sky.
A nearby trawler, the Chanticleer, saw the A8 going along with its conning hatch open and four men standing on the submarines casing. Suddenly they were swept into the water. A sudden dip at the bow caused the submarine to be swamped through the conning tower hatch and the A8 kicked up her stern and sank. This submarine had a reputation for being unstable, sometimes diving without warning. The Chanticleer rushed towards the scene and picked up the four men who were, Lt. Algernon H. C. Candy, the captain, Sub Lt. Murdoch, Petty Officer William Waller, and Acting Leading Seaman George Watt. Tugs and divers arrived at the scene and rescue operations quickly commenced. However an hour later these had to be stopped when two underwater explosions rocked the submarine sending a huge spout of water ten feet into the air. From then on it was fairly obvious that all the rest of the crew had perished.
The A8 was subsequently raised and taken to Devonport Dockyard where the cause of the sinking was found to be a loose rivet in the bow. The bodies of the crew were recovered through a hole made by removing a metal plate from the hull. This metal plate was apparently later used to make a cross for the men's funeral.
The A8 was quickly repaired and recommissioned in time for the 1906 naval manoeuvres. During the First World War she was used for training, along with A9, as part of the First Submarine Flotilla, operating near Devonport through early 1916. She was sold on 18th. October 1920 to Phillips of Dartmouth, Devon, who scrapped her at Dartmouth.
The crews' funeral procession took one and a half hours to cover the two miles from the dockyard chapel to the Plymouth and Devonport Cemetery where they were to be interred. The crowds numbered in their thousands and thronged the entire route, in some places twenty deep. The funeral cortege was over half a mile long, with the dead sailors laid on gun carriages drawn along by naval ratings. The route was also lined by different Army regiments, and the crews from all the ships moored in Plymouth Sound were ordered to shown their respects. At about half past four in the afternoon, the final blessing having been said, the firing party discharged three volleys over the gravesite, and four buglers sounded the Last Post.
Whilst most of the crew were laid to rest at the Plymouth and Devonport Cemetery, Leading Seaman John Kerswell was laid to rest at Crediton in Devon and Frederick Vickers was buried at Southsea in Hampshire and Sub Lt. Fletcher, aged 20 was buried at St. Mary's church in Mallingford near Norwich.

The South Devon Link Road is a 5.5km dual carriageway, which will provide the long awaited Kingskerswell bypass. The road will bypass the existing A380 between Newton Abbot and Torbay
Currently under construction, the major new road is scheduled to be complete by December 2015. The project was granted full approval by the government in May 2012 and work began in the autumn.
The improved access to Torbay and South Devon is expected to bring lasting economic benefits, leading to the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs in South Devon, with around 3,500 of these in Torbay. It is predicted that the new road will remove 95% of traffic away from Kingskerswell, restoring and revitalising the village.
The A380 between Penn Inn, Newton Abbot and Kerswell Gardens, Torquay is one of the most choked up and heavily used roads in the region, carrying over 35,000 vehicles a day.
Running to the west of the existing A380 and bypassing Kingskerswell, the South Devon Link Road will provide a safer, less congested and faster route for through traffic, with the existing road remaining to provide a quieter route for local traffic, buses, cyclists and pedestrians.

The South Devon Link Road is a 5.5km dual carriageway, which will provide the long awaited Kingskerswell bypass. The road will bypass the existing A380 between Newton Abbot and Torbay
Currently under construction, the major new road is scheduled to be complete by December 2015. The project was granted full approval by the government in May 2012 and work began in the autumn.
The improved access to Torbay and South Devon is expected to bring lasting economic benefits, leading to the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs in South Devon, with around 3,500 of these in Torbay. It is predicted that the new road will remove 95% of traffic away from Kingskerswell, restoring and revitalising the village.
The A380 between Penn Inn, Newton Abbot and Kerswell Gardens, Torquay is one of the most choked up and heavily used roads in the region, carrying over 35,000 vehicles a day.
Running to the west of the existing A380 and bypassing Kingskerswell, the South Devon Link Road will provide a safer, less congested and faster route for through traffic, with the existing road remaining to provide a quieter route for local traffic, buses, cyclists and pedestrians.
Although it had left the fleet for Huyton Mini Coaches (Vision), Widnes by April 2013, when this picture was taken, NR54 HCR a Scania K114EB4/Irizar PB C49Ft coach, was still in the Hardings, Droitwich fleet. It was new to Tanners Croft (Hardings Coaches), Redditch in February 2005. It was also reported as having short loan spells with Solus, Tamworth, Staffordshire and Rowbotham (Ann's Executive Coaches), Kerswell Green, Worcestershire between July and November 2011, before joining the new Hardings operation.
