On the 29th of September 2024, during a storm in Dawlish, a train broke down at Dawlish railway station. They have to wait for the tide to go out before sending another train to rescue it.

We need our HSTs back they have no problem getting through a storm

@chrismoore4423 14 часов назад

But can lack adhesion on the Devon banks on dark and stormy nights. I’ve been stuck on Dainton and then had to forego my stop at Totnes to take Rattery!

@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782 2 часа назад

Agreed, bad move getting rid of them.

@martinbutler9999 15 часов назад

And how long was the line blocked for after the train broke down, theres no way round either, but had the former Southern route been re opened, the trains could have diverted via Oakhampton and Plymouth

@johnharmar-smith2262 15 часов назад

If it's one of those Hitachi toy trains with the washboard seats, the best thing to do would be to dump it into the sea to bolster the Dawlish sea wall and get the wonderful and very comfortable HSTs out of retirement to replace them right now!

In the midlands when a train fails we have "Thunderbird" locos to the rescue, usually consisting of modified Class 47s

@christopherisherwood4967 17 часов назад

I thought that we were told that these trains were Dawlish-proof - looks like it, doesn't it! Moral - check the tide-tables before setting off on a GWR train journey!

@tombo1984 20 часов назад

Should have kept the 43's for the poor weather seasons. They handle the sea air and waves much better.

@markwelsh3957 Минуту назад

Oddly enough I went past Laira depot a few weeks ago and there were quite a few HSTs sitting around in sidings doing nothing. The (S)Hitachi's are rubbish and not a single lesson was learned from the poor performances of the Voyager fleet on the seawall section a few years ago. Welcome to modern UK railways.

@alanjewell9550 12 часов назад

I saw that go past at the Woodland Avenue residents crossing in Holcombe. Never seen such a long IET consist! Big waves were still crashing over the railway & I got a soaking whilst on the crossing. Way too dangerous to go beyond the crossing onto the sea wall path.

@alanjewell9550 should cancel in Exeter like XC does. The 19 carrige one your talking about is a different one that failed in Teignmouth

@pipandkitty2004 17 часов назад

Just been on a cross country train from Edinburgh to Plymouth only four coaches Ram Jam packed standing room only cattle class service that’s probably why they got rid of the HST’s to see people suffer. I felt sorry for the elderly who had to stand all the way and this is on a regular basis

@kristinajendesen7111 10 часов назад

I'm going up to Hinckley from Bournemouth soon. Ex railway I could go by XC but it's often horrendous. 4 hours + by train, change at Cov, or just under 2 in my car.

@robdlaidler 18 часов назад

These class 800’s just cannot hack the great British weather. Maybe it’s time they should dedicate the class 43 trains to the south coast lines, because they have lasted 40 years, and yet these new trains, the Azuma’s cannot even last a few years

@louisajones3535 22 часа назад

Thats so good….thank you!

@markwebber662 21 час назад

The new GWR units can't cope with the waves along the whole coastline , we desperately need an inland route as well, so trains can divert when weather is stormy

@jonathanlake6053 21 час назад

The Govt don't want to pay for the extra upgrading of the old route,they spend the money up north and around the home counties.

@davecoz4227 20 часов назад

If the new trains can't cope then surely the lest expensive option is to use the old trains or build new trains using the plans of the old trains. Were the old trains immune to waves or something?

@christopherisherwood4967 17 часов назад

The old trains (HSTs) are now running - problem-free - in Mexico and Nigeria!

My daughter was on the broken down train. She opted to go to the pub once everything has fallen apart. A choice of action that I was fully onboard with. 😊

@alanjewell9550 2 часа назад

Guessing overhead electrification is a non - starter beyond Exeter, even if it does ever get this far. Via reopened Tavistock route would be a viable option.

@davidsnapebrcrosslane8782 2 часа назад

Never had this problem with loco hauled stock or the HSTs. Maybe Network Rail (etc) should think about reopening the central Devon route as a diversion as their new stock can't cope.

@MervynPartin Час назад

There is no resilience in this route to foul weather. One day, someone may finally realise this and reinstate the inland route.

@simonbarnsley6281 14 часов назад

The irony is that the pre-1968 diversionary route via Okehampton was also blocked

@mikehsmith1 6 часов назад

Yep, another example of poor Hitachi train quality compared to the British made almost half a century old HST’s that arecatill vastly superior in every way. Then it was a labour govt that then cancels the railway opening your railways schemes . Didn’t see that one coming from a labour govt .

@TerryTheNewsGirl 13 часов назад

Somebody bring back the HST. The IET's are ABSOLUTELY USELESS. And why use a whole train for the rescue? Couldn't they have borrowed a class 37 (best workhorse diesel) from somewhere? Good grief.

@JSDENNETT 15 часов назад

Never stopped steam in the 60's , last I saw they had removed Brunel's curved out tops , that direct waves back on themselves and reduced the issue. Also a lot more ballast lifted the line ?

No detonators 300yds from the failed train? I've been retired for 5 years but it's still the rule surely especially in that visibility? Used to sign that route driving 159s from Salisbury until they took it away from us. Made the mistake of looking back one day on the Dn at Dawlish when the waves were coming over 🌊😮

@tonys1636 9 часов назад

Some questions may be raised over how effective the new sea wall is. Thought it was supposed to keep the line open, they must have known that Easterly winds and storms are common.

@MG63 3 часа назад

The wall protects the coast line and railway line itself from damage. You can't prevent any water going over unless they built a wall the height of a block off flats.

The problem is these fancy super duper trains cannot cope with salt water landing on the rheostatic brake grids on the roof. Whoever thought these trains would be good for working on a railway line which regularly gets a deluge from the sea should be sacked.

All lights on in the failure so I wonder what failed. Imported granite boulders to create off-shore reefs may have to be added to increase the resilliance of the recent new defences. Otherwise spend no more money and buy/protect a route via Chudleigh.Excellent work by an alert Coast Cams.
