- In part 2 of our tour around phase four of the South West Rail Resilience Programme, Jack shows us a possible historic pipe from the Brunel day that may have been used to fill the steam trains with water.
We also look at the highest Cliff Behavioural Unit, where six drillers are working at once, and they discover an unknown brick face behind the sandstone cliffs.

Super work thanks Jack love the updates. Fantastic for the area although i am in Kent
Fantastic video, full of info, really enjoyed it all, thankyou Both.
Interesting to see the old wall in the cliff. Have you been down the bottom of Smuggler's Lane recently? Pretty much opposite Salty Dog a piece of cliff has recently slipped away and it's also uncovered what looks like an old brick arch, but it's hard to tell what it is or what it might have been for.
Can't wait until this is put into a series on TV 📺
Cliff hanger, edge of seat ;-))
Thinks its also good PR to kinda explain what happening. We need more of this..
Thank you sharing, your doing yet another great job.
A Big Thank You guys for a great video. Showing us locals and the world on how great the British work man and women can make i big difference in keeping our safety in mind on our train journeys in the future.
Thank you.
Hasn't technology moved on since the days of Brunnel and 1850's. The work should be good for at least 100 years.
We were trying to get back to Totnes on the 6 March when they had a mini rockfall. It was absolutely chaos at Exeter that afternoon. We got as far as Newton Abbot then bused it to Paignton then got the Plymouth bus from there to Totnes.
Going back there this summer after going in 2022, can't wait to see the difference.
Makes you wonder how they got that wall put up there. No doubt they had a flat cap as PPE to protect them! If that lot came down on a train it would be game over!
I love this content
Wow - old walls in the cliff - how old? Historic remnant of importance?

Could you please mention/remind us what TBU stands for in the next video? Thanks.
CBU, Cliff Behavioural Units.
*behavioural.
cant believe they are spending so much money to protect the new trains that are useless in bad weather. Really wasn't an issue with old trains
I would have thought the engineers who worked on the damage to the sea wall back in the mid 1850's would be aghast at how much concrete, money and time has been spent on this monstrosity in my opinion.
What's the alternative? It has to be better to do the job properly once, rather than keep carrying out small/partial storm damage rebuilds every few years.
What has been down on this is likely much less than 2 km of motorway.
you call all this amazing work hard these guys have managed to achieve a monstrosity but what would have been the alternative...would you have wanted something simple that would probably collapse and causing major disaster and loss of life...the work on the cliff faces from what i can see not only protects the cliffs falling onto the railway but also protects the residents in there homes above .....ive watched this work for many years thanks to Neal and i give credit to the guys for all what has been achieved
