Wow! Just had the pleasure of seeing Starcross Station. It's

So the station will be kill in a few decades?

The station already was kill a couple of years ago, the land underneath it was completely washed away and the rails were just hanging in mid-air.

All been fixed up now with a proper sea-wall...EVEN THOUGH THERE'S LIKE THREE INLAND RAIL ROUTES THAT THEY COULD REOPEN SO THIS DOESN'T ENTIRELY CUT OFF THE SOUTH-WEST AGAIN BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT COST-EFFECTIVE OR SOMETHING

Tsk, you'll be wanting electrification next!

Full electrification from London to Cardiff, when?
"Indefinitely deferred" I believe was the expression.

All good fun.

It would be pointless electrifying past Exeter on the Devon line because the knitting will be down along Dawlish etc every time the wind gets above a gentle breeze, as on the ECML near the coast.

as much as i hate it (living in plym) this anon is right.

i love the route on the coast near dawlish but fuck me is it prone to storms and inclement weather.

it would be cheaper to build a breakwater along that stretch of coast than keep repairing the railway after every storm, i reckon, but NR would never shell out for it.

One of the reasons for that is because the catenary Poles are ridiculously far apart due to cost cutting during electrification
