It had already been a winter of hellish weather and flooding across the whole of the UK - but that single image of the Dawlish rail line left hanging like washing in the wind, with the sea raging beneath it, is how people across the country will always remember the storms of 2014. People 60ft up above Riviera Terrace, on the Exeter Road, were getting seaweed thrown against their upstairs ...

"One of the most famous old steam locomotives is heading to Devon this spring" The thing is it's not that old as it only made it's maiden run in 2008. Still, it will be nice to see it.

Also if you have paid the max 35 years national insurance you cannot claim jobseekers therefore you will not be classed as unemployed

@Epicurus I’m in the same area & our electricity used to come via overhead cables & was fairly reliable but about 5 years ago we were transferred on the grounds of “safety” to an underground cable which was fed by the sub-station located on the new-ish estate of houses at Upper Longlands. Since then, we seem to have had power cut after power cut & have often suffered the annoyance of our ...

In the 15 years I have lived in Dawlish the town's essential services have become ever more scarce. Prohibition notices have been placed around the town to stop the minority of idiots, vagrants and alcoholics from being an annoyance, but as zero enforcement takes place they just paint the town as a problem area to visitors. Banks in the town started to close and last year Lloyds, the only bank ...

The article is exactly the same one from last month so to say “ The Rarely seen Network Rail Flying Banana Nos 43014 Named the Railway Observer and  43062 Named John Armitt, worked down from Reading Triangle Sidings to Paignton via Penzance," is a nonsense. It’s up and down our line like a yo-yo due to rough seas and high waves which prevent Crosscountry trains running along the line! I think the ...

I commute 6.45am and am in exeter on average within 25/30 mins, leaving Exeter around 4pm to come home with a similar sort of return journey time.
