Travelling by train along the South Devon coast between Exeter and Newton Abbot is one of the most spectacular rides on the British railway system. Ever since the line was built in the 1840s it has been closed many times by cliff collapses and sea wall breaches. Today the trains are still affected by gale force winds and flooded tracks, including the devasting storms of Waves over the line - a train caught in a storm at Dawlish February 2014. © Anthony T Steel The line is expensive to maintain but kept open because it is a vital communication link for the people and economy of the southwest.

  • Dawlish Sea Wall Residents' Letter April 2020
    Issue 8 Dawlish sea wall residents’ update Installation of Wall Panels is Underway Most of the wall panels have now been be installed Construction of the new sea wall reached a significant milestone on 9 February, as the first wall panels were installed in the face of adverse weather conditions during Storms Ciara and Dennis. Most of the panels are now in place, which will form the main structure of the new sea wall, giving residents, visitors and rail passengers a clear indication of how the structure will look once it is completed. While we complete the installation of the last remaining wall panels, we have started adding the recurve or wave-return to the top. These will deflect the power of the waves away from land and back out to sea. After that focus will then shift to town gateway and Boat Cove and the installation of track drainage and amenities such as surfacing of the footpath and seating. The wall panels will be topped with Challenging circumstances a curve to send the waves back. Despite challenges that the workforce faced in securing the vertical anchors that will hold the panels in place, a solution was quickly found. This was done by excavating a trench along the existing wall and replacing the highly voided and weak fill material with new concrete. This ena- bled the vertical dowels to be installed in new material rather than the weak existing material, ensuring that the new sea wall remains entirely secure. At the time of writing, construction of the sea wall continues, as our team plays a vital role keep- ing passenger and freight transport systems operating.

  • Dawlish Sea Wall – Section Two
    DAWLISH SEA WALL – SECTION TWO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why does railway resilience need to be improved at Dawlish? The railway is a vital artery, which connects communities, businesses and visitors in 50 towns and cities in the South West with the rest of the UK. Since the damage caused by heavy storms which resulted in an eight-week closure of the railway in 2014, Network Rail has been developing plans to improve the resilience of the railway between Exeter and Newton Abbot. The South West Rail Resilience Programme was established by Network Rail to identify and implement the best options to improve rail resilience between Dawlish and Teignmouth, helping to avoid a repetition of the events of 2014. What’s been achieved so far? Following the events of 2014, we undertook a complex and expensive repair operation to reinstate the line between Dawlish and Teignmouth, this work cost more than £35m. Since then, we have been working continuously on the line and putting together plans to safeguard it for future generations. This includes three studies in 2014, 2016 and 2018. In November 2018, a nine-month plan of work began to repair the breakwaters at Dawlish as they were not providing the required level of protection this section of rail line requires. In February 2019, the Government committed £80m for a new sea wall at Dawlish between Boat Cove and Coastguards breakwaters. In summer 2019, we began work to build section one of the new wall at Marine Parade. This is progressing well with most of the facing panels in place and the wave returns (recurved panels that sit on top of the wall) being installed.
