  1. 46100 was one of the very few trains to pass Dawlish on time today. Unfortunately 1C55 failed at Teignmouth at 0905 and it’s still there as I type this at 1850. Everything had to use the up line between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth. There have been multiple cancellations, some due to the storm and some due to the failed train (Hitachi 802102) at Teignmouth.
