caption_attribution_description: English: First Great Western's 43195 calls at Dawlish in Devon with a train for London.
context_page_description: 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 down the line from Exeter St Davids and 206 miles 7 chains 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.
context_section_description: The revised timetable from 15 December 2019 has two or three Great Western Railway trains per hour calling at Dawlish in each direction. Most trains run between Exmouth and Paignton although some start or finish at Exeter St Davids. On Sundays the service is less frequent and most trains only run between Exeter St Davids and Paignton. The line from Exeter St Davids through Dawlish to Paignton is marketed as the "Riviera Line".
  A few longer-distance Great Western Railway trains from Bristol Temple Meads, Cardiff Central or from London Paddington also call at Dawlish as do CrossCountry services from the Midlands, North of England and Scotland. Most of these services, including the Torbay Express from Paddington, continue to Paignton but a few run instead to Plymouth and even Penzance. At other times passengers travelling east or north catch a local train and change into main line trains at Exeter St Davids, or at Newton Abbot if travelling westwards.
