South Western Limited Railtour 02/09/1962

Amongst a batch of 1960s negatives I've recently acquired are those posted below which all appear to be of the South Western Limited Railtour of 02/09/1962. 
According to the Six Bells Junction website 30861 'Lord Anson' worked Waterloo to Sidmouth Junction, then Exeter Central to Salisbury after the train had been worked Sidmouth Jn to Exmouth then Exmouth to Exeter Central by double headed M7s 30024 and 30025.
After Salisbury the train was worked to Eastleigh via Fullerton and Redbridge by Black Motor 30309, then Eastleigh to Waterloo by King Arthur 30770 'Sir Prianius' (I have no images of these last two).

M7s 30024 and 30025 South Western Limited Railtour 02/09/1962
I'm 90% certain that this is M7s 30024 and 30025 and 75% certain that the location is between Sidmouth Junction and Exmouth as there doesn't appear to be enough water in sight to be between Exmouth and Exmouth Jn!

Lord Anson again, I'm sure that this is Exeter Central Up Bay

I'm sure that this is Exeter Central Up Bay again, Google Earth street view has a building with an identical tower in the same place. Nice picture with the crew, are they Salisbury or Exmouth Junction?
