Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put the railway line so close to the sea wall...

Scene at Dawlish, just down the road from here, last Wednesday. The weather has been pretty wild. Apparently people were stranded on the train in the dark for several hours. One passenger said, with typical British understatement, "One doesn't expect this sort of thing when travelling by train."
More news (not necessarily weather-related) soon.

Holy Crap! That's gotta be dangerous if the train is electric!

Send me the photo, I'll put it on my blog. I laugh at copyright laws. Ha!
