A Laira Class 118 DMU at Exmouth on 1 May 1979 which we took down and back from Exeter. Alistair Ness.
Under blue skies, redundant railway land and a boarded-up signalbox greet a refurbished Class 116 three-car DMU (P317 - 50858, 59492, 50911), as it was arriving at the East Devon seaside resort of Exmouth with a service from Exeter St Davids on July 22nd 1979. A far-cry from the days when on a Summer Saturday the terminus here handled through services to London Waterloo and the North. Martyn Hilbert.
Set P317 - A 3-Car Class 116 DMU with W50911 leading, presumably with 59492 + 50858, awaits departure from the single remaining operational platform at Exmouth with a service to Exeter St Davids on the 22nd July 1979. The unit was in the short-lived refurbished white with a blue stripe livery. The station had recently been rationalised, the redundant island platform with its Southern Railway canopy is on the left of this scene. A far cry from the busy Summer Saturdays of old, when trains to and from London Waterloo and the North served the East Devon seaside town. Martyn Hilbert.
On a hazy and warm Summer afternoon, a Class 118/117 hybrid three-car Suburban DMU formed of cars W51328, W59509 & W51313 was stood in the single track terminus at Exmouth with a service to Exeter St Davids on July 28th 1979. The station at the East Devon seaside resort once had four platform faces and was a busy place on Summer Saturdays in the past, including through services to and from London Waterloo. The Southern Railway upgraded the station in 1924, and one of the disused island platforms with its substantial canopy was just visible to the left of the DMU. This has now been swept away, and a road that was constructed in 1981 now runs alongside the station. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 117 set B435 (presumably 51415 + 59486 + 51373) after arriving in Exmouth station in 1986. John Law.
The Plymouth Laira Depot allocated class 118 DMU sets were often reduced to 2-car sets for working some of the Cornish branches likes Gunnislake, Newquay or St.Ives but when deployed further east in Devon 3-car sets were preferable because of loadings on the likes of the Paignton, Barnstaple and Exmouth branches. So here class 118 set P480 (51312+51327) has been augmented with a class 101 intermediate trailer (59551). The 3-car set is seen at Exmouth prior to departure with train 2B84 the 18.14 to Exeter St.Davids on 8 July 1985. Adrian Nicholls.
