New plastic Dawlish station footbridge opened and immediately listed!
Newton Abbot MP Anne Marie Morris has officially opened the UK’s first Grade II listed plastic footbridge at Dawlish Station. She cut a ribbon across the steps to the new footbridge off the main platform at the seaside station on the south coast of Devon. The footbridge was part of a £1m improvement project which saw the removal of the rusting steel footbridge on 7 October. The new plastic polymer composite footbridge was then installed in mid October 2012. The bridge was officially opened by the local MP on the shortest day of the year.
