Director’s Diary: Rain Stops Train Again!

This has all the drama of Brunel’s Exeter line between Dawlish and Starcross. In Devon they speak of waves breaking over the top of carriages When storms swept away a section of the line in February 2014 we were reminded once again that the most spectacular bits of railway are often the most expensive.

Wishing all on the railways, Calm Seas and a Safe Voyage.
