The railway line at Dawlish that was destroyed by storms back in February has now been rebuilt and the line re-opened.
This article has a neat time-lapse video of the repairs. There are also links there to other articles about the damage, which have some interesting before-and-after photographs.

I remember at the time the mess the storms caused. Unbelievable how the whole seawall was undermined and the track was just hanging in mid air. Glad it's repaired, one of the most beautiful sections of railway in the world.
Thanks for the update, Nicole. That line was the highlight of our steam trip behind Mallard back in September 2012.
I wonder if the Dawlish webcam will be put back online anytime soon.
