@Lynne . What has Andrew George Liberal MP for St. Ives got to do with Dawlish? Lynne, there is a meeting on tuesday and does the Dawlish Gazette come out the next day?
@Clive . You seem to forget clive that all network rail have to do is strengthen the sea wall and make it thicker and tougher. plus build breakwaters. you can do this like the sea wall at Teignmouth and Jersey( curved at top) , and you should have a sea wall "fit for purpose". not go to all that expense of building a Dawlish avoiding line. remember Dawlish is a tourist town like Teignmouth and ...
@ken . thanks for the reply. made me feel much better. i thought it was me.
Does anyone have keyboard problems on this website. My keyboard Is missing out some keys when I post. Its only happens on this website. Just wondered.
@roberta . this is due to storms last friday. ben bradshaw(labour mp for exeter) does not mention that in his tweet.

@roberta . yes i only holiday down here, and given the chance i would live here in dawlish. dont get me wrong, you are entitled to your own voice. i just wish that people would not carry on about the inland route. as the transport secretary keeps saying all options are being kept open. and anne marie morris seems to be fighting for the coastal route. I am as well and yes i do like trains and I ...
