The sea wall was reopened on 4 April 2014, two months after it had been severely damaged by storms. Despite this there remains much work to be done. First Great Western's 150130 (working from Exmouth to Paignton) is negotiating the breached section at Sea Lawn Terrace but more work can be seen beyond Rockstone bridge where scaffolding has been erected from beach level and shuttering is being prepared to cast a new section of the inner wall which separates the railway from the footpath between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren.
