Paul I agree with joining the thread mentioned.... and include the “Decision on Dawlish Wall....” thread as well. Brings everything together for Phase 1. Thank you to Admins for establishing the separate threads for the two Phases.

They are quite tall. You can see them on this webcam here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sKQJEL-xjjc&feature=youtu.be

The curved cap is still to be fitted and infilling between old and new wall. Yes, correct. I meant to say the top sections are now being fitted.
