General Discussion
In my heart of hearts I must say that I agree with what you say Fronteraman. However, if the Dawlish line were to close before an alternative line was in place then there would be no rail connection any further southwest than Exeter. I don't think that couldn't be allowed to happen. Hence I am always alert for what is being said/proposed about alternative lines. But with regard to the Dawlish ...
Have you reported this to either Dawlish Town Council or Teignbridge District Council? Don't understand what you mean by going "back to having our own Dawlish Council". We already have it, don't we?
and on a not totally unrelated matter have a read of this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/8305644/Coalition-scraps-plans-for-disposal-of-nature-reserves.html
@Vanguard , Don't know if your posting was aimed at me or Wondering or both of us but I for one do read the Dawlish Gazette (and other papers for that matter). In fact, it was because we have had news recently that 'our' line is apparently safe as far as this government is concerned (info courtesy of the Dawlish Gazette amongst other papers) but that on the other hand it may not be as far as ...
Yes, I know. The rail fares using a Devon and Cornwall railcard are amazingly good value and one of the reasons we moved to Dawlish was precisely because of the...........yep! you guessed it!

As I'm picking up very strongly that we may well have Independent candidates for whom to vote on our town council ballot papers in May I wondered if we might be having the same choice in terms of our district council candidates. Dawlish returns 5 councillors to Teignbridge District Council and all 5 seats will also be up for grabs at the May election. Presently all 5 councillors are Conservative ...
Vanguard, I agree that the new supermarket will provide extra jobs and that it will significantly cut back on the numbers travelling all the way to Exeter, KingsT, or NA to do their supermarket shop. I openly acknowlege that me and mine will welcome not having to travel all that distance, because yes, like oh so many others, we do the bulk of our shopping, once a week, from a supermarket. If ...
Thanks for that info Vanguard. Re the Amberlinecoast proposals. Whilst I agree totally that the Warren, Dawlish and Teignmouth should be marketed as one entity but with each part offering a different characteristic I am sadly aware of the parochialism, and I mean that word in both its metaphoric and literal sense, between Dawlish and Teignmouth. Although I've been here a few years now I still ...
