The what seems like the daily closure of the main railway line at
Dawlish will definitely take place later today. Forget Brexit, I do
wonder how England can manage being so regularly cut off from Cornwall.

The closure of the inland route across Dartmoor some fifty years ago
does look to have been rather short-sighted.
