General Discussion
Just to let us know that the work will most probably go on through out the holiday season and the beach will be closed off. I would not be suprised if the beach onwards to The Warren from Dawlish gets NO DOGS signs put up for this season. So another holiday season for Dawlish pooped on.
Yes, before all the haters start up on this site.....I understand the work needs to be carried out and there will be a certain amount of disruption, but Dawlish has had rather a lot of it the last few years and mainly down to the lack of sea wall maintenance by the railway company.

As for the new Hitachi trains that were tested with gallons of salt water to see if they would stand up to the coastal route, well that says it all. Tons of salt water might have been more realistic.
