- Huge waves. With people risking there lives to get better pictures. Possibly the best 4k quality video on u-tube. Shot by a very wet Alan Wall.
See how this storm compares with the storm that bought down the railway line in 2014. • Dramatic scenes as hug...
Flipping Heck !! A good test for the new sea walls. Grew up in Dawlish , grandfather was a driver for GWR in the steam days said they would get soaking wet on the foot plate and be dry buy the time they got to Teignmouth !!!! Thanks to whoever took the pictures.
I’m willing to bet that Dawlish has the most hygienic railway arches in the UK.
Actually quite therapeutic to watch - many thanks for posting 🙂
Very interesting to see how little sea water makes it onto the railway. The engineers got the design spot on. Still surprised the trains were running, though.
Those sea wall designs are doing their job.
Amazing video been to Dawlish when Wall was being repaired lovely people lovely place nice to see defences working well❤❤
The recurves are doing an excellent job in what is, a major storm! Brilliant engineering.
That wall might be expensive but I think it just paid for itself!
Thank you for bringing the storm to life. I am about 40 miles north of Brighton and we escaped the worst of it stay safe and thanks.
Love how the wall uses the energy of the waves to propel them back to seaward.
Wow! What fantastic waves to watch. Great to see the new sea wall doing it's job brilliantly and seeing the trains were still runing during the storm xxx
Many times before the new sea walls were built have I been on a train being battered by waves through Dawlish. New defences are doing a great job!
Hang in there Dawlish, you guys have seen worse, those walls are doing very well. Fingers crossed for no flooding but have to say its a beautiful thing. Great footage Alan thank you.
Really good footage, thank you. 😮
Ive lived here for decades. Weve seen worse. Its just a storm. Lots of stones have been thrown under the viaduct again. Wouldnt want one to hit me but its only the fools who dont know any better that would stand on the wall. on a positive note. The sea washes those dirty old trains odd a treat.
Once again Devon thanks Brunel for putting the line where passengers can look at the pretty view
Used to holiday here every year, will always hold a special place in my heart. Hope to visit again soon, hopefully not in weather like this
Thank you for the post.
Don't you just love Dawlish on a windy day ❤
Clearly the new sea defences are working well but will need constant attention annually to repair any ingress by the sea
