背景信息
<\/p>\nSince the railway was first opened in South Devon, there has been a long history of breaches in the coastal defences and many occurrences of cliff falls causing adverse impacts on the rail track and services. Throughout its operation, in order to keep the line in service and the public safe, significant effort and investment has been expended on remedial work and engineering improvements.<\/p>\n
In 2014, there was major landslip near Holcombe which dislodged thousands of tonnes of cliff material on to the track. For six weeks, all rail connectivity in and out of South Devon and Cornwall was severed \u2013 cutting off 50 towns and cities from the rest of the country. This dramatically highlighted the vulnerability of the route, and urgent works were required to get trains running again beyond Exeter. The damage cost tens of millions of pounds to repair. The cost to the local and regional economy was far higher.<\/p>\n
Since then, Network Rail has been developing plans to improve resilience of the railway between Exeter and Newton Abbot. Key to these plans is the Parsons Tunnel to Teignmouth Resilience Project.<\/p>\n
Feasibility studies with early concepts were presented to the public in 2016. Since then we have refined the proposals as a direct result of the public feedback we received.<\/p>\n
Insight gained from the public consultation in summer 2019 helped inform the further development of our proposals and we presented these updated proposals to passengers, communities and businesses during the second six-week consultation between January and March 2020.<\/p>\n"},{"is_icon":false,"icon":"","title":"Understanding the risks and developing solutions","description":"
