The Great Storm of Dawlish - The Past Eight Years

In this video, we visit Dawlish and the rebuild of the sea wall since 2014. This video contains unseen footage from the storm and the rebuild eight years later.
We see some of the repairs of the sea wall when it was closed for eight weeks. We then look at phase one along Marine Parade and visit phase two which is currently underway.

    Amazing. Will be brilliant when it's all done. Very impressive engineering, and there's noticeably less water breaching the walls in the severe storms that you get in the area. Fantastic that they've incorporated some of Brunel's original wall as a feature.

    I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, absolutly fantastic job by everyone involved in this project. A I only live in Exeter, Covid rules allowing, I have been able to see, first hand, how things have progressed. Kinda makes me sorry that I am now retired from the Construction industry, well, perhaps not too sorry.

    Great video, your coverage of the works has been outstanding! My only objection to phase 1 was the stinking great big railings they put up alongside the railway line - it was always a glorious sight watching trains along Dawlish sea wall - I hope they don’t put railings up along the rest of it!

    Great video - Great engineering - though will miss seeing the sight of trains as now being obscured - shame 😢😢 Progress always has its plus & minus !! Extremely loud music - ok for those who are hard of hearing!! Look forward to seeing this section finished & cleared up, who knows it may not be as disappointing as first looks - from a tourist perspective.

    Do they close the station during these storms. Even with shelters must be dangerous as you never know when a wave will wash away a structure. And it would be better just to run the train through no stopping.

    I the line is closed only in really extreme circumstances. It is the only rail link to all points west, so closing it in bad weather is very rare. It was very common for waves to completely engulf trains, but hopefully that won’t happen anywhere near as much when the new wall is finished.

    Wasn't it amazing to watch the orange-clad workers at the end of the video, letting the only woman there carry the heaviest camera, she probably wouldn't have trusted a man to carry it. Shame on them, but loved the video.

    Any chance of squeezing a few more ad breaks in??? I think i went nearly a minute without one. I LOVE creators who ruin their work with ads. Bet you put too much ketchup on your chips and sugar in your tea! Heard of the laffer curve?
