Yes Lynne the sea wall and the viaduct are all Network Rail. They own it and pay for all repairs, so they also control access
Two pieces of information that may help (1) The sea front has been ruled as "Off limits" by Network Rail and Teignbridge are not able to access it for repairs or clean up until this is changed. Unfortunately this also means no public access except to Coryton Cove and the section of the promenade immediately adjacent. The Rock Pool cafe is open for business and can be accessed by the path ...

They promise to re-establish a service as soon as they can, and appreciate our forebearance in ...

Teignbridge are going to do their best to get the remains of the tree cleared today, or at least moved off the path I understand that their contractors are prioritising making trees safe, and then coming back to clear the materials as time allows. Sadly they are having to deal with a lot of such situations across the district
Just to clarify The free sandbag supply by the sea front was replenished this afternoon as requested. I know there were bags there yesterday, none this morning. So the free supply could only have been exhausted for a few hours and TDC acted promptly once alerted to re-stock
The supply of sand bags at Dawlish sea front has run out. I have rung Teignbridge and they will get more out as quickly as possible In the meantime, if anyone is desperate and wants to collect directly from Teignbridge, the following information is taken from the TDC website Sandbag Collection Contact Drainage and Flooding or call 01626 361101 (Out of office hours - 01395 ...
