Damien Jones, head of transportation coordination service, told councillors that Cross Country Trains were looking to eliminate or reduce some services to Plymouth, Penzance and Torbay, and that they want to save the resources to invest back in the Midlands where they have issues with capacity, but this would have a knock-on effect on stations such as Dawlish and Teignmouth as it would change ...

A famous steam train has passed through Devon today - the 60009 Union of South Africa ran along the picturesque Dawlish sea wall line. The event was captured on film in these photographs from the Dawlish Beach Cams on Brunel's world renowned railway and seawall.

How do you cross the railway line to get to the beach? I understood that all that land belonged to Network Rail and they have strict regulations about building work, access, etc.

It was good to see so many youngsters having a great time. https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/gallery/south-west-youth-games-dawlish-1769763

The South West is among the worst off regions in the UK for spending on public buildings, road and rail. It reveals that over the past twenty years, the region has had £18.20billion, about £3,315 per person, way behind London and the North East, which comes out top of the table.

And before then, 2000 BC, 4000 years ago. It's the beaker folk innit, bloody Beaker folk coming here with their drinking vessels. What's wrong with just cupping up the water with your hands and licking it up like a cat!!

Rail line had to be closed ..one day someone will dream up an idea of running a line from Plymouth - Okehampton- Exeter.

Just so there's no ambiguity what does the term "flicking a fag"  mean.? don't want to fall foul of the PC police.

Sounds like a great opportunity for the government to introduce more stealth taxes. Why not just ban smoking, industry, cows farting, cars, and we can all sign up for digitas

I used to read the Victor when I was a kid. Happy days indeed.

All i see from this is a function he attended, where the guest's had to pay £40 a pop for the privelege, and merely banged on about how bad eveything was. No mention of what he and his fellow West counrty m.p's are doing to sort it...just typical for your average and overpaid m.p. in my opinion. Interesting reading;- ...

In an emergency it is not so simple. I know a radiology nurse who was on call for Torbay hospital. She had an urgent call at 3am. She lives in this area. She was caught by the camera going down Teignmouth hill, doing 36. She paid after the NHS wrote mitigating circumstances which failed and before I knew about it. Someones life was at risk, but that didn't matter on future call outs, she kept ...

@FredBasset howabout your giving a rest your claiming things but then not providing any evidence of your claims? And no-one, but no-one, makes you or anyone else read what I write. If you find it boring just ignore it and don't read it.

I wait with interest if they catch the people to see if they're local. Chippy Chaps has also posted CCTV footage of people trying to break into their establishment, wondering if it's related as has Rock and Sole.

Not sure if you're referring to Gay's but despite being on the 'wrong side' of the brook they seem to be one of the shops in Dawlish that does really well.  Often there's queues outside for their cream teas, pasties and (I understand) cheesy Steves!  They must be doing something right!

@webmaster - thanks. did as you suggested and it seems to have worked. @B/B. did you get my 'testing' message?

I assure you the conversation really happened. And I didn't butt in for the very reason that you state. Although it will be my business as indeed it will be everyone else's if the numbers of EU migrants in the UK fall with a subsequent negative impact on the UK economy. EU migrants contributed around £20bn to the UK's public finances between 2000 and 2011, and paid billions more in taxes than they ...

Good luck . Lol

Huge fire in Coryton Close. Hope no one is injured.

In vestigation on going as no train driver reported a hit.

Hypothetically when you get to the age that your quality of life requires a lot of assistance/drugs etc and you cannot get around or enjoy your surroundings. Why not commit a crime that requires long term prison time. Now your new home has staff obligied by law to look after you for free. As I say hypothetical, but certainly one avenue. What's are the other choices, pay through the nose to end up ...

n Teignbridge, a council spokesman said that people are welcome to enjoy barbecues on the region's many beaches including the award-winning Coryton , Teignmouth Town , The Ness and Dawlish Town Beach . However, they said that barbecues are NOT allowed is Dawlish Warren as there is a byelaw in place that bans them. Read more... ...

I have started this new topic as I think it deserves a place of it's own. It is showing me once again how LA's can lie with impunity and think they can get away with it. And that goes for smaller outfits such as a Town council. There is some knowledge of this from the topic, Playpark on the lawn. I started to investigate what was happening to Berry Head car park when someone cried for help after ...

And I bet you a million dollars that it hasn't been TBC that has received a penny of the charges. TBC is in finacial difficulties, there is even talk of them cancelling their unitary authority status. There is also talk the DCC will not entertain TBC coming back into the fold with such a debt as that would mean the tax payers of DCC having to pick up the tab. So wouldn't you think that TBC would ...

Makes a change from the usual c*@p that comes out of Bogroll Boris.

Well said Lynne.

Don't forget this is on today. The Strand Centre - mid-day to 8pm click on this link to see what is being prooposed for Dawlish https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/6882/dawlish-for-meeting.pdf

A painting and decorating firm has been ordered to pay £130,000 for putting employees and members of the public at risk in a case triggered by the death of a worker in 2014. Mr Leach, a painter and decorator from Exeter, died in hospital from a cardiac arrest the day after the Bronto aerial platform he was working in toppled over. He was in the basket of the vehicle at the Railway Convalescent ...

The sewer should have been in place before the new builds were approved by the planning dep't. They say it was planned for 2025, but how many new houses will be using that 6 inch pipe by 2025. In my opinion, a greedy company like many others putting profit above customer satisfaction. God forbid if they charged milk prices for the water they supply and the crap we send them back. I'm sure they ...

Agreed - because that is a bilateral trade agreement between the EU and Canada. But just because that is the situation between them doesn't mean to say that it will be same between the UK and the EU and the UK and other countries. Look here at what arch Brexiteer Jacob Rees Mogg has to say on the subject: (my emphasis in bold) "It is thought the Cabinet has had only one high-level discussion about ...
