My heart goes out to the people of Dawlish, and can well remember walking along the footpath adjacent to the track back in the days of steam when a mere youngster.
The weather forecasters have got it wrong before and many times, and let's hope they have again this time and the storm doesn't strike as hard as the 'Experts' say it will, so work can begin in getting the line back up and running. While some say it will take six weeks, How do they know, when the line has to be thoroughly inspected first?
