[ValleyLines142]

With only another service to Penzance remaining, we may as well take advantage of the overnight relaxation rule here seeing as there isn't really anywhere else we can go and return in the morning with a desire to head to the Devon coast, in particular a very famous sea wall, as we board the 0548 Great Western Railway service 2U10 to Dawlish, arriving there at 0837 on Thursday morning.
