Rail News. On Saturday 24th will be the final English Riviera Express for this year, this time diesel powered from Slough to Taunton. The steam locomotive powering it in South Devon will be the reliable LNER Class B1 61306 Mayflower which has performed faultlessly for the latter part of the season running between Taunton and Kingswear. The timetable has not changed all year and once again the express will stop at Dawlish Warren station from 11.54 until 12.01 to allow the Cross Country Plymouth bound express pass it. The time at Dawlish on the return run is 5.54pm

In this video, Jack Brookes and Beach Cams Man provide an update on the ongoing Dawlish Sea Wall and Cliff Protection work across multiple Cliff Behavioral Units (CBUs) within Network Rail's Southwest Rail Resilience program. It focuses on nailing, netting, and erosion control efforts to improve railway safety.

Jack discusses various operations, such as completing demobilization, drilling, and netting programs, installing erosion control systems, and realigning water channels to protect the railway from erosion and rockfalls.

Significant vegetation regrowth is observed on the cliff faces where nailing and netting programs were completed a few months earlier, which enhances the stability of the erosion control systems.

The project faced challenges like drilling near tunnels and dealing with voids behind them. Temporary solutions, such as sleeving, are being implemented while waiting for a final design solution to ensure long-term resilience.

The video emphasizes drone technology for surveying, the need for careful land reinstatement, and safety measures, such as temporary catch fences, to prevent debris from affecting the railway during construction.

The Dawlish Beach Cams Story

Unwind after a long day and visit Dawlish Beach from anywhere and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature via our Full HD professional cameras with sound.

The Dawlish Beach Cameras have caught storms, meteorites, huge waves and the trains are regularly hit by the waves which make great viewing.

The town is a unique and beautiful sea side resort with a railway line that runs between the beach and the town.

The town is truly the idyllic English Sea Side resort with a great community spirit and holiday accommodation.

The South Devon Railway sea wall runs alongside the beach with a footpath.

The Railway was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the first section was complete in May 1846 which ran from Exeter St David’s to Teignmouth.

The line was then extended to Newton Abbot by the end of 1846.

The first trains to run were the atmospheric trains which were powered by pumping stations alongside the railway.

The Railway was converted to standard gauge on May 20th 1892.

More recently, 5th February 2014, the South Devon Railway suffered a breach at the hands of a severe storm along the sea wall and a part of the railway line was washed away.

It took a team of 300 people at a cost of £35m to rebuild the railway and was reopened by Prime Minister David Cameron.

Dawlish is a beautiful railway resort and from either direction the Great Western main line is regarded as one of the most scenic in Britain.

It runs along the South Devon coast under the distinct red cliffs just a stones throw from the shoreline and cutting through a series of amazing tunnels and coves.
