Unfortunately Mother Nature always wins .

Wow! thanks that was marvellous to watch👍

For what not closed captions ,please...OK

Why do production companies feel the need to blast our ears off with crap music 😡😡 it's a sign of a bad producer and editing team... A crap production puts music everything because it hides how s*** they really are...

amazing video . the cost is massive , but the alternative was unthinkable . run a new railway route behind the town .

I wish there was commentary that explained what was being done and how these measures are meant to protect the line in future storms. I guess I can google it.

poxy music driving us nuts

Never was a good idea to put a railway there. Silly, really.

One wonders what goes on in the minds of these video makers, the mur is to loud to much and unnecessary!!! Ruins the video.

Lucky nobody was hurt

Love the music. What is it please?

Amazing video, enjoyed it immensely

I am now 84 and lived in the area during and after WW2. When my Father came home from Army service in 1945, I was 10 years old and he was employed on the GWR as a plate layer. Following the war the Admiralty raised concerns at Govt level about the possibility of storm damage to the main line at Dawlish cutting off its main fleet base at Plymouth from re supply of ammunition / fuel and Stores etc. As a consequence in 1946 and 1947 my Father and other Staff were employed, in gangs of 12 men, every weekend for 2 years in bringing the Teign Valley line - from Newton Abbot to Exeter St Thomas, via Lustleigh and Trusham up to main line standards ! With the expectation of heavy ammunition trains the existing line - mostly single track with passing loops at Stations - was deemed to not be up to those specifications ! So every under bridge and drainage culvert and embankment was strengthened to be able to cope with extra weight plus passing loops were lengthened. The Teign Valley line was closed to traffic at the time of Beeching cuts but after then it was occasionally used for the Royal Train to be stabled at night when on tours of the West Country, until the track was finally lifted. Had it been kept ready on a care and maintenance basis - as many military bases were, the West Country could have had continuous traffic during the recent period of closure. I remember my Father and his mates cycling home after a gruelling days work with pick and shovel absolutely worn out and this went on for 2 years. It is a prime example of the folly of Government short sightedness when Beeching was brought in ! PGH

I'm glad I watched this, most people didn't know what was going on down there on the sea front. All I remember was the endless traffic congestion that seemed to last forever. Looks like you did a good job so hopefully that wonderful train journey along the sea front can stay where it is.

Interesting topic , narration with facts and figures would have been better than the bloody awful music , got pissed off and turned it off .

Wow! I know the line very well,from the 70s onwards. Remember the storm & closure reports, but omg! Great footage, thank you!

What a magnificent job ..Well Done

Should be called Dawlish the Storm Damage and Repairs as there is no footage of the storm itself

Great video ignore the twats that say they don't like the music. Anybody with half a brain knows how to use a volume control!

Brunel was overrated. Stupid place to put a railway

Hate the music!

That bloody ‘music’ completely ruins this Video. What moron selected such a racket to accompany an otherwise excellent video.

However hard you try ,the sea will eventually win the war

A great subject but completely lost in this mess of a video, dramatic music, out of sync with the visuals and lacking any proper narration!

I'd rather hear a commentary than this stupid music.

It was fascinating to watch the rebuild on the Dawlish beach webcam..the Orange army did a good job and quickly !

MAYBE SO CRANE OPERATIONS LOOKED AWESOME

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED ALL THIS RIGHT!!?? RIGHT, JUST LIKE TRUMP MADE GLOBAL WARMING WORSE BY GETTING THE U.S.A. OUT OF A 100 TRILLION DOLLAR FUCK FEAST THAT THE U.N. WAS GOING TO GET TO PAY THEMSELF AND DIP INTO NOW AND THEN!!?? RIGHT, FIX OR DONT, BUT DONT BLAME TRUMP FOR OUT DATED SEA WALL FUNDING AND UPGRADES!! JUST SAYING, OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T.

Fighting a losing battle with that one
