Freight through Teignmouth/Dawlish

[Shrub Hill]

first post for me, my dad has just moved to teignmouth and we are after a rough idea of the freight workings in the area . obviously they have dwindled massivly over recent years and spending last week there didn't see anything during the day although we were not on location 24/7. hoping someone could give me a heads up to pass on to him, he is more into his photography than number crunching and i am sure he will learn over time but a helping hand would not go a miss,
enjoying the site
many thanks
