Trackside is all about stories from across the Great Western Railway network and today we’re hopping off at Exmouth in Devon. 

We went to youth clubs along the network to find out about the lives of young people across the south of England. 

Exmouth railway station is the terminus of the line from Exeter St Davids.

It opened in 1861, connecting the City of Exeter and the port town of Exmouth.

That line is called the Avocet Line, named after the pied avocet bird.
