Imagine if you fell asleep while you were still inland, and woke up, looked out of your window and all you could see was a stormy sea with waves hitting the windows. Might be a bit confusing...
@@hoolydooly5072 I guess its defined by geography, practicality and cost. Building further in land would have meant a lot more tunneling and missed coastal towns
I would have paid good money to have experienced that.
Next time the UK gets storms, I'm going to Dawlish for few days.
Anyone else waiting to see the star fish from Finding Nemo to fling onto the window.
Main thing is you survived to upload this video
20ft maybe but not 30ft unless your counting when it hits the wall...
A review of other videos shows that the sea wall is effective in stopping the waves, diverting them upwards. Then the wind blows spray over the track. So the train isn't really being hit by waves.
The last train before the line was washed away?
I took that train December 2018 exactly the same weather high waves like that i just sat there thinking what's the odds of a fish hitting the window
I cant believe they were letting the trains run with the sea lapping at them like this! with the sea wall soon to be taken away. Amazing footage. I like
Having lived in the area all my life, the trains often run when it is like that and much much worse. They only stop in extreme weather, as was the case in 2014 when the wall washed away.
There was a problem with the Voyager trains when they were first introduced, because of the electrics on the trains, but local and intercity trains run along the route in all weathers.
@@sgthree yeah. My Cross Country voyager was cancelled and called short at Exeter.
Well, at least they have clean trains to ride on... Though pretty scary.
I see that the Dawlish Train Washer was operating on schedule.
Imagine what it would be like on an InterCity 125 trainset with the offside droplight windows all open!
life jacket is under the seat
Brilliant footage, thanks for that :D
The day after you recorded this footage that railway line was swept away into the sea
train boat... boat train your captain is speaking
Train of the seas
Superb footage 💖💖💖💖💖
Another reason to reinstate the line from Plymouth to Tavistock to Okehampton etc..
+surfjabroni That route is a terrible diversion. The teign valley would be a far better route to re-open, as if the path of it is modified a little, it could be quite a fast route.
The problem is most likely all these routes you suggest have been paved with roads or built with houses.

Agreed + it would be quicker while
ensuring Torbay stays connected
This should be made safer. They should move the sea back away from the track.
First Class Trainspotting I really hope they were joking.
Pretty sure neither is possible on this line though, they have been improving sea barriers
The topography of the land in the area (I grew up there and used to have cross country runs at school along the sea wall down to Dawlish Warren) means moving the track massively expensive. There are now plans for it to be moved further out to sea to protect the eroding cliffs behind the railway.
The Okehampton and Teign Valley routes (both closed in the 1960s) have in parts been built over now, so land is not necessarily available.
The train gets free wash
I wouldn't of liked to be on that train
crazy just crazy
Why was the train stopped?
Sometimes when a storm is too much, a train will wait at a station or even the middle of the line were it is safest, the reason for this stop though might be so the engine of the train doesn't get flooded or the ground is to unsafe like back in 2014 when the sea wall which the track runs along was washed away and left the lines and sleepers hanging.
At least the train got a wash
Ah I remember this storm somehow I was only 5
NOT SCARY!! ITS AWESOME!!!
Que medonho. Parece que o mar vai engolir o trem.
This is the only train in the UK equipped with lifejackets under the passengers' seats.
No they dont.
Man that is too close to the water.
It's been that close for nearly 175 years now, and it is still there. The sea wall is currently being rebuilt (for the first time properly since the original construction), so it is doing pretty well really.
There is loads of waves😂😂
What class of Train was this?
zuuu1 sea train
zuuu1 - Looks like a class 150.
Yer Maw Sells Council 153
