In the nineties the wall was breached half way down Marine Parade, the stone ballast was all over the road, the line was shut and wire cages to hold the new ballast were installed. A similar thing (not so bad ) happened a few years later.

It's already an eyesore and that's before the graffiti gets daubed on it!! And on a stretch of line that have never been breached in 150 years!!
