The sea-wall at Dawlish isn't the biggest problem for the main line here: the line running though the sand-dunes at Dawlish Warren most definitely is, given the amount of erosion in the area.
Gibraltar’s is 600m longer. Never will commercial flights take off from Plymouth again.Can it really be true that Plymouth’s runway is too short for commercial jets? I’ve used Gibraltar airport many times, and its runway is considerably shorter than I recall Plymouth being on my one flight there.
It is about time those charlatans at Sutton Harbour were evicted. Let's have our airport back!Plymouth Live has it now on Page 7

And all of the flights that used to fly out and in?? We are not talking about Boeing 737's.Gibraltar’s is 600m longer. Never will commercial flights take off from Plymouth again.
The unprofitable ones you mean?And all of the flights that used to fly out and in?? We are not talking about Boeing 737's.
You obviously have an alternative agenda Daz. Perhaps you work for SHG or even ECC???The unprofitable ones you mean?
We have 2 international airports within an hours drive of Plymouth. We really don’t ‘need’ one in Plymouth at all. What we do need is a better rail and road network and that’s what our local councillors and MP’s should be focussing on. Not something that makes no commercial sense, but is seen as a vote winner.
Yes you got me there, I work for Sutton Harbour and ECC. 🤣🤣 Why would I have an alternative agenda? Is it that I disagree with you?You obviously have an alternative agenda Daz. Perhaps you work for SHG or even ECC???
And just how long do you think any PCC needs to focus on improving the road and rail network? It's been rubbish for most of our lifetimes. They should be constantly harassing central government to help with this but, as well as road and rail, an airport could be profitably used for many things, in the right hands... IMO of course.
