Can someone help please. When there Is a link for torquay herald express.co.uk why Is It when I click on link I get lines where there should be text? The others are unaffected.

Thanks Lynne. Looks like I have brought sunshine for today but the weather forecast for tomorrow should be dry but cloudy. Thanks for the good wishes.

@Morty Vicker . Exactly. They always make a big thing out of it.  No passengers on HST. Every one is stable in hospital.

@Dawlish News Item. What a complete 100% Idiot. If he was thrown Into sea then Lifeboatmen would have to come out to rescue this Idiot and that would put their lives at risk.

@leatash . South West MP`S are meeting George Osbourne on Monday. Even NR havn`t got the money for there study. NR admitted on Monday there Is a lot of work still to be done on the Dawlish Seawall.

Happy New year to everybody and webmaster. Hope you have a prosporus new year.

I hope everyone hear had a Happy Christmas and have a happy new year. Have a Happy new year Webmaster and keep up the good work.

@Lynn. Rail Strike on Sunday now ON. Talks broke down and continue  Monday.

I can see the Plymouth mob are back. Why dont they just give up?

Heard today that Network Rail are not Introducing the new trains In the autumn. The £38.5 billion Is being reset. Some of The work they were going to do may be delayed or cut entirely. The electricfication of the line will now only go to Swindon and further on much later.  The East Midlands line, York-Sheffield shelved, as Is the Trans Pennine service. The Great Western services will still be ...

It has today closed again due to the same norovirus bug.Both restaurant and hotel have closed.

@ZIGGY . Thanks Ziggy.

Happy New year everyone. And may It be a good one with no storms, everybody happy, even the Plymouth Mob. OK I got 2 out of 3 there.

Dawlish Webcam has Its uses even on Christmas Day.

I hope everybody had a happy Christmas and enjoyed yourself. Sorry I am late but I was elsewhere yesterday.

@Judith Chalmers . Well said, that made me laugh actually, they seem to have gone quiet lately. Never mind, they will think up something. Did you see the Torquay video on FB yesterday and my comment afterwards?

Very good programme. Thoughly enjoyed It.

@Ken : @Leatash . Breakwaters was first mentioned by Anne Marie Morris in February this year, and she was all for it.  Making the Sea Wall wider would help enormously but this could be done in the future. Everyone knows that It has to be made more resilant for the future.

Very good Video. Well done.

@ZIGGY . Thanks Ziggy for that.Some interesting comments on FB.

Judith. One train was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, the rest because of train faults. Also you are spot on with your post. @Lynne , its Wednesday December 3rd.

@Wondering . I agree %100 with you. but NR  must make the seawall resillant to winter weather.

@Clive . And cannot tell that the sea is choppy. Good picture on Dawlish Beach Facebook page.

@flo . And the first test could come this weekend with strong winds expected. especially Sunday. This Information I took from Met Office.

On the Dawlish Beach webcam, I and quite a few others saw a Man,Woman, pushing a pram/pushchair,  2 children who went near to tracks. This webcam saw them coming towards Dawlish. Apparently you can see this on DB Facebook page. This Is something I would never do.

Does anybody know what the building Is on Dawlish Warren Station (Exeter St. Davids bound side) ?   What use Is the building for ?

@ Taylorjack. Great news It Is now live. Including drilling noises!!!!!!

@Lynne . Oops!! didn`t see that. sorry.

@leatash . I am on Windows 7. '

@ Webmaster. I am still getting keyboard problems.

New Dawlish Webcam Website Is now live. New Webcam starts 7 days time. The address can be found at www.dawlishbeach.com

@Clive . I am getting keyboard problems again.

@roberta . this is due to storms last friday. ben bradshaw(labour mp for exeter) does not mention that in his tweet.

@RailCamLive Glad that the Dawlish Webcam will be back in action soon even though its via another website.

@michaelclayson . all tomorrow. low water 3.15am( 3feet 2 inches) , high water 10.3am (14ft.9 inches) , low water 3.42pm (3ft.8inches) , high water 10.25pm(13 feet 8 inches). Give or take a few minutes.

@Lynne . yes that does. that for your help.

Dear Everybody. Hope you have a happy and prosperous new year. And hope we keep the Dawlish Webcam. And Webmaster happy new year to you too.

@roberta . i dont live in dawlish but i have always holiday in dawlish. in fact i have done that since i was 16, i am now 54. i come down hear 5-6 times a year, i have met lots of nice people and enjoy my time hear. i mostly come hear for the trains. i am train mad. if only i could move hear i would.  if i could get a job hear or exeter i would move here. like i said, i like dawlish and i live in ...

@Taylorjack913 . the way it faces now( east), is in the best possible position. when they turn it round west, you cannot see the station.  they would have to move the entire webcam. why not e-mail them?  or if you live near the railway with railway visible, why not have a webcam on your house?   just a thought.

Yes I agree,very good programme but only 20 minutes of it.Should have edited out the section on newquay and bath(i think it was bath), and had 10 minutes more. Pity about people that moan though.But it was good programme.
