Fred, Found this quote from Network Rail Boss Julian Burnell Mr Burnell said: “The work is going really well. The landslip is disappearing before our eyes. But April 4 is not the end of the work, it is when we can start re-running trains on the track. Initially there will be a slight reduction in capacity. On April 4 we will also be relaying the road surface in Riviera Terrace and Sea Lawn ...
Word reaches me that volunteers are needed on Thursday to hang bunting and help decorate the town centre If you can help, please email Emma@teignmouthanddawlishcic.org.uk Also on Friday to help clear after i've asked when the actual itinerary for the day will be published, and will pass on news when I get it
As far as I know, it's a Network Rail event. I have no inner knowledge of what's planned, but logic suggests that there will be announcements over the next few days so that people can join in the festivities. So, hopefully not long to wait for news!
@ Hollie sounds a great idea, count me in You might want to contact the chap on Eyes of Dawlish that organised a monthly beach clean before the railway problems. Joint working is always a good idea. I will try and scroll back on Eyes and see if I can find his details if you like? also, I remember that Dawlish United had a very successful day involving their players on a ...
As it happens, I won't even be in Dawlish on April 4th ........... i hope it all goes to plan, and the whole town has a day to remember. These past few weeks have shown the very best of Dawlish and I'm so glad to be living here.
As far as I am aware, no formal consultation process for the study into alternative routes has yet been announced. Network Rail are saying, one thing at a time, and the one thing at the moment is opening the track the final decision can only be made by Central Govt
It's cool Roberta, there is a Network Rail website that posts updates on the work, but as far as I know there isn't an open site for questions and answers. You can of course use the normal customer feedback site, but that is a private communication between you and Network Rail.
Please don't use that Facebook site, it wasn't set up to be a debating forum Network Rail don't post on it, you'll introduce controversy to no purpose
I have now had the following from Devon County Council The 6 month period stipulated in the closure notice is a standard time period used for any closure that is likely to be more than a couple of weeks. In other words, its entirely routine formulation of a notice Network Rail has not yet given a schedule for the works, so there is no suggestion from Network Rail that it will be 6 ...
Brooklyn just to confirm that I have submitted an information request. It is quite normal to issue long dated orders when the exact end of works date can't be specified, otherwise you waste a lot of money reissuing statutory notices every time there is a small over run. I hope that this is what is happening here.
