The decision as to when it is safe to do so has to be an operational matter for Network Rail. I have had ...

They have extra teams out and are doing the best they can. Obviously, the situation ...

There is now a Facebook page Dawlish thanks the Orange Army For those who wish to add their comments to the Appreciation of the men (and women too!) who are working daily wonders to bring our railway and seawall back.
