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.

I visited dawlish station in June, after following your series on the making of the new sea defences. I was amazed on what has been achieved. I went up on the new station bridge. Thanks for documenting all of what has happened.

[@goldenlabradorskye]

Great video. Loved the way you had the concrete blocks being put in with the rhythm of the background music,

[@AlisonBryen]

Ingenious. I think Brunel would be impressed!

[@shaneraines2094]

Jesus what hard work processed! well done network rail!!!

[@philtucker1224]

Lovely work, I love the classic footbridge over the railway line, very tasteful

[@jezm1703]

Fascinating construction work. Amazing achievement. Must revisit soon.

[@frededwards8585]

An awesome and a very important project for everyone in the whole country - Good Work Orange Army!

[@stewartshackleton7825]

Excellent video, thank you. Dramatic footage with music to match. Looking forward to walking the wall this summer when we visit our family.

[@robertvanrees]

This is a proper documentry... TV ready!

[@andrewmarch7891]

Thanks so much; an excellent piece of work capturing the necessity and perspectives needed to keep Brunel's piece of visionary work in use.

[@johnlang4198]

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.

[@kevinknowles3365]

Huge admiration to all involved in the project.

[@cliffuk.704]

[@SouthEastRailwayVideos]

Nice documentary + well done to everyone involved

[@barryroberts2196]

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.

[@jimrichards3916]

Great video. Well done!

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

great video

[@stuartdean7470]

I liked the music track, although it was a tad loud . Whats it called please? Great video and great work by the orange army> Thanks to all

[@auricom8472]

Wow nice jordans.

[@petecoventry6858]

TV quality Production there - well done

[@paleriksson3345]

Very exciting adn stunning footage. Then please just skip that loud and bombastic music - it´s not needed since the filming is coole enough!

[@blue_blur_]

I once went to dawlish for the red arrows and I the sea was really bad then. I think it was 2017 or 2018.

[@CXensation]

Very annoying and way too loud soundtrack. The actual content worthwhile watching though.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

This year we have storm Dudley and Eunice battering our country

[@AnthonyFurnival]

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!

[@andyrob3259]

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.

[@sgthree]

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.

[@sydelton1289]

Closed again today.

[@chriswar535]

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.

[@caravancapers5091]

A good test coming this week in the form of Dudley and Eunice…

[@richard-bt1lq]

👍

[@helenheggadon6324]

Good coverage but awful music. Really irritating.

[@tonys1636]

Bright new concrete that someone will whinge about, it will soon weather, instead of moaning about it perhaps they should get a few pots of Yogurt and a paint brush to speed it up!

[@Han-wh5ie]

Een enorme klus.

[@silurian9420]

Nature will win in the end, as Arnold Schwarzenegger said "I'll be back |||||

[@tony.brimson6339]

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.

[@acme181169]

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?

[@arthurdrosario4246]

What a f****** waste of taxpayers' money
