Network Rail has awarded BAM Nuttall the contract to design a series of resilience measures along the iconic coastal railway between Dawlish and Holcombe, south Devon.

Due to further coordinated strike action by the RMT, TSSA and Unite trades unions on Saturday 5, Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 November, Network Rail is asking passengers to only travel if absolutely necessary, expect widespread disruption and to plan ahead.

Newly released aerial drone footage highlights Network Rail’s latest progress in linking the two sections of the £80m new bigger sea wall to protect the railway at Dawlish.

Those attending the Autumn International match at the Principality Stadium, on Saturday 5 November, are being told not to travel in or out of Cardiff by train.

A multi-million pound programme will turn Bristol Temple Meads into the UK’s first ‘Station Innovation Zone’, trialling new technologies designed to upgrade passengers’ experience.
