Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- The Secretary of State for Transport, Rt Hon Mark Harper MP, officially opened phase two of the Dawlish sea wall today. It was great to see such a good turnout on the sea wall.
The work is part of a £165 million South West Resilience Programme and delivers on a Government pledge to create a more resilient railway for Dawlish and the southwest.
The filming of this story has been superb and deserves to win awards.
Not often you see the people of this country come together. A truly great result, against some truly awful weather, thank you.
Well done to the Orange Army and everyone else concerned in this fabulous project great to see the wall officially opened and thank you Neil and Jack for all if your updates ❤😊xx
So pleased it's finally completed. Grateful thanks to Anne Marie Morris for your unwavering commitment to push this forward and get it done !
Well done People of Dawlish !
Well done to the Orange army ! And a massive thanks to Neil and Jack for all the updates !
Well done to all those involved. It can be done given the will and determination.
And thanks from many of us who have gotten to know Dawlish through this intriguing project and the remarkable coverage from BEACH CAMs!! For it is truly one of Britain’s most beautiful spots (and has trains!!!).
Nine years. Well done to all those involved. Not just the Orange Army, Beach Cams Man and Jack from Bam, but all those behind the scenes. Well worth the wait.
Terrific video of a great historic moment - well done everyone
I've been following this project for at least a year well done to everybody involved...... Only one downer the railway viaduct could have done with a lick of paint
Absolutely
Well done everyone who had a hand in securing the railway for the safe passage of trains and improving the pedestrian way alongside it enabling its use for everyone, walkers, runners, cyclists, mobility scooters and pushchairs etc. Thank you all - you must all be so proud. Thanks also to Neil and friends for documenting it all so comprehensively for us all.
What can I say? So impressed by everything about this project. Shows how projects can be done and successfully brought to finality. Thanks too, to Neil for his informative recording of all the historical moments to create a resource for future posterity. Thanks Neil. Regards Don McZealand.
That was just amazing. It’s been a joy to follow this project and I thank you for sharing this and making me feel part of it all. Cheers. Geoffers from Scotland.👍❤️🙂🙏
Simply magnificent a great project completed by the coming together of the communities and the agencies in overcoming those terrible times. Neil and Jack are to be specially thanked for all their work in brining us all the updates as the work has progressed. Someone has already mentioned it but their work in bringing us footage of all the works should be recognised by an industry award. I am so pleased for Dawlish and the wider community it is a wonderful place to holiday, something I have done and it has a special place in my heart.
Bravo Dawlish!
I walked along the new bridge while I was on holiday, lovely views of the trains now
I’ve really enjoyed watching the videos of all the splendid re-building work which has taken place in the last few years. Well done. I just hope that the new resilient structure does not weaken the case for (re)building an alternative rail route to the south west.
Wow amazing what can people do. Congrats to the team.
Jack It was nice to see your team orange army workers to bring this sea wall to the end. Working in all hours day & night also in some foul weather& in the cold winter months.
Who will keep the beach stones out of the Brook near the walkway, as it is already nearly full of beach stone.
Now just have to finish the lifts. Notice the crane was back at the weekend but not the 750 tonnes crane this time.
It’s designed so the brook continuously washes out its own channel
The tidal conditions will always bring stones into the basin area. There's no stopping that. But, as the other poster has mentioned above, it's designed so that the normal river flow will wash them out again when there is sufficient flow.
Thank you Orange Army!
Was it David Carmeron who signed this off?I've lost count of Prime Ministers!😂
Well it all came together in the end, and how interesting to watch as the job progressed. Well done to all the lads working all weather's, and especially to Neil of Dawlish Beach Cams for the superb coverage of this project, and Jack of Bam Nuttall for his informed input, a great team . It is a superb piece of engineering which I was fortunate to see for myself a month ago. Definitely a must see experience 😊experience.
Great video and congratulations to you all, cant wait until you put this altogether and we can all watch again on a major TV Network .
Nice one Neil
Fabulous. Thanks BCM!
Another amazing milestone in the teamwork and support of the government in delivering a total upgrade of the sea defense of the railway and Dawlish, great work, Brunel would be proud. 🏖👍👍.....
Thank you government for allowing this to happen. Thank you all for your hard work for the continuation of the rail line. I'm so happy that it's completed. I will have to come down from Northamptonshire to see and go back to the town I was brought up in. Well done everyone x
Well done to the Orange Army!
A fantastic job and well done all.
This will give the railway and Dawlish some more years of protection, but, unfortunately the sea will win again at some time in the future. When is anybody's guess!
Magnificent job. My favourite county .
Hurray well done everyone.❤
They have done a great job
Brilliant
"Wave Walker Woz ere" should be a stone imho ;-)
Brilliant effort by everyone involved in the project. We done! Is it now possible to walk from Dawlish warren to Dawlish along the front on the flat?
Now wasn't that lovely 😊 👨👩👦👦
IKB will be looking down and smiling 😀
The DfT want a pat on the back for funding this essential work, but what the people of Cornwall and Devon deserve is for the line to be electrified and train frequencies to be increased. Defending the coast from the increased risks caused by climate change should be the first step, but let's keep the orange army down there, electrify the entire area and buy a fleet of new trains with sliding--step technology (similar to the 777 trains that Merseytravel have bought).
David Cameron drove forward the reopening of the line and has had a part to play ,allot was muted that if he had remained in power the possibility of reopening the total northern route was floated ,Gieorge Osbourne was a fan of the idea,
Do you mean "muted" as in he was silenced by others, or "mooted" as in there was a lot of talk about it?
@@cargy930 excuse my spelling ,it was mooted.
@@jeffreyhodge5564 😀It was one of those unfortunate spelling mistakes where either meaning was possible!
Open up the line between Okehampton and Bere Alston...surely this has got to happen
There was a survey done on the state of the trackbed, which is in not to bad condition the biggest nightmare is the viaduct just outside okehampton which is not safe to run trainover the only salu
There was a study on it, but the proposals had relatively poor cost-benefit values
It really amazes me. How to spoil the ship for an hahpeth of tar.
With the millions which have been spent on the supports for the railway and station.
Here we have dignitaries alike praising the works before a podium covered in network badges.
What stands out like a sore thumb. “The rusty railway bridge “ that network rail or others are too mean to give a good de-rust and coat of paint.

Im certain that everyone was delighted that a sleazy and temporary Westminster Politician was involved.
What was David Cameron doing there. Got to “love” the pollies when they talk, waving those hands
David Camron reopened the line in 2014 after it was repaired.
