The trains do not compare to the horrendous noise from the work on the wall! Yes, the work has to be done but the line isn’t breached, like it was in 2014, so there is no need to work all day and night. We should have at least two nights a week without any work so we can get a decent nights sleep! It’s all to do with profit margins and greed and they don’t give a dam about the impact on the lives ...
This is devasting news. The cafe brought the cove back to life and has been hugely popular for the last three years. Why are Newtwork Rail being allowed to destroy Dawlish and wreck someone’s livelihood? What are our councillors doing to support Ian and Marco? Network Rail run their own vehicles along the wall so why can’t Ian do the same with his little pizza van? When the wall is completed ...
Sad news from the Cafe on Facebook We have some bad news..... Today Network rail informed us that we will no longer be able to drive along the sea wall to service and stock the cafe nor will we be able to bring down the Pizza van, sound equip ment and the supplies we need to run our events. This isn't a temporary decision this is a permanent prohibition. The result of this is that we have ...
Well 2B goes through Marsh Barton Industrial Estate where Matalan etc is and up Exeter Fore Street, so you can get off at old BHS or HIgh Street. It's in addition to the Service 2 every 30 minutes ..of course it will pick up people Exeter bound if the 2 is running late! from Newton...2b is usually on time by starting at Dawlish at 43 mins pass the hour. Timetable here > ...
I am wondering, that because it is not used very much, it maybe because it is a service that is not well known, although when I have been on the 2B it can get quite full by the time it gets to Exminster. I am too old to be bothered to work out the time difference between the 2B and the regular 2 bus journey time between Dawlish and Exeter and maybe it needs more advertising, it is quite an ...
Not many use it ..about 4 to 6 average ....but be ready for people to 'moan' if it goes! .Second time it's been tried beyond Exminster.
If they (Stagecoach) decide in the future to cut the service, will it be a matter of, 2B, or not 2B?
You have to take the rough with the smooth. In the long run, it could end up saving their lives and property, and it's not like it's going to last forever. After all, they have the trains running through there all day (Diesel pollution) and at times through the night as well.

Letter has gone out from network rail to state the following:- re dawlish seawall they will be working 24 hours a day from now until they leave the site on wed 10 july. the work entails preparing bedrock, delivery of concrete, pouring of concrete and grinding of excess concrete. in other words they will be a pain in the arse for anyone living along that section of the front with ...
