Network Rail has confirmed a time table of repairs for the Dawlish Warren to Dawlish and Teignmouth walkways that were battered by storms in February.

Works are now being undertaken around train services, with Network Rail working in available periods to reopen the sea wall areas for the public as soon as possible.


On the Dawlish Warren to Dawlish route, the walk way section from Boat Cove to Coast Guard footbridge is open, while repairs will be ongoing for the next four weeks along sections of the walkway near Dawlish Station, access along the walkway will be maintained during this period.

The section from Dawlish Warren to Rockstone footbridge is currently scheduled to open for mid June

The walkway between Coast Guard and Black Bridge (including Sea Lawn and Riviera Terrace) is currently scheduled to open by the end of September due to the extensive container removal and works to rebuild the outer face of the wall, which are limited by the tide and train movements.

On the Teignmouth to Smugglers railside walk, East Cliff to Sprey Point is currently scheduled to be open by the end of May while, Sprey Point to Smugglers is hoped to be open by September.
