Dawlish All Change 
Part 2 Clive Smith
Following on from my previous feature on trains passing through the station, here are some photos from 5th September 2020 showing the station from the sea wall. Large boats will be arriving soon with pile driving equipment and rigs will be built that will be twice the size of the ones that were used to repair the sea wall breach in 2014. Regards, Clive Smith.
