Isn't that where a new Dawlish Parkway would be built? Maybe he'll make more money flogging the land to Network Rail.
Very interesting posts Clive. Like Lynne I encourage you to bring your views to a wider audience. At the very least it might prompt some informed debate from people with insight into the workings of the railways. Thanks.
Okay, from National Rail site I see it's the rail replacement. We thought the 8.08 might be full or running late, so were wary of relying on it. Has your daughter had any problems with it? Thanks.
Thanks Leatash. Is it a dedicated Exeter College bus or the rail replacement?
So are they saying there is a bus from Dawlish to Exeter College? Would be grateful to know as we've been driving in...
Great idea, hope there's some investigation by the decision makers.
'Ministers' answer'? Just short term measures. Misleading headline.
How about routing the mainline from Exeter to Newton Abbot and running not only a branch line/Heritage line from Exeter to Dawlish but also a tramline from Newton Abbot to Dawlish, terminating at Kennaway Tunnel. Tram stops are simpler and blend into surroundings and trams can run much more frequently. Dawlish station could be replaced with something more modest and the seafront between it and ...
Burneside, what's your beef with my opinion, it's just an exchange of views? I haven't suggested doing away with the railway. I said think the station is an eyesore and I thought the line had been raised which in my opinion changes Marine Parade and the seafront for the worse. If it hasn't been raised, I'm sure you'll correct me.
Burneside, I think you know full well I was not suggesting Brunel lacked aspiration. There's no need to try to misconstrue my words. In any event the railway has clearly been raised since Brunel's day and looks nothing like the original.
