Pleased to see that the preparatory work has commenced ahead of the desilting that's going to happen upstream from Dawlish. We've already seen the benefit of the initial phase, so hopefully this next phase (and subsequent phases in the town sections) will nail this on the head.
That said, I was pleasantly surprised to see today just how clear the water was coming through the town. The water flowing over the open gate just after the fountain was sparklingly crystal-clear - it certainly made a pleasant change after all that winter rain caused the water to go so murky!
