Looking at the beachcam this morning, the down side lift tower was topped off overnight last night, and it looks as if the protective wall sections by the steps are now complete. 

That suggests they will soon be in a position to fully open the promenade walkway, for a few weeks now it’s had a temporarily narrowed section on the seaward side of the lift tower, and I think one of the videos showed that on “opening day” there was still an under track concrete pipe present, hence a gap in the platform wall.

But definitely on the last stretch of the overall project now.

This video may be of interest, it shows the Teramare ship being used for delivering heavy plant to the worksite.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

That’s a repeat of your post #119 in April 2022, is that definitely what you meant to post today?

Well spotted!
 I had forgotten about the earlier post, but I suppose no harm in repeating it after well over a year.

There’s a fairly detailed YouTube video appeared concentrating on the work BAM Nuttall are doing on the cliffs south of Dawlish, might be of interest to some of you.  Interesting to see them working above the live railway at times, and it explains how they are able to do that:

It's certainly come on a lot since I walked the coast path between Teignmouth and Dawlish in August 2022....by the look of it, you probably can't do that again untill it's finished.
