It's quite possible mining could return to Cornwall one day, if prices or new techniques make it viaaible.

Your pedantry is trumped by your stupidity. Well done!!

Erosion is what you do to common sense.

Actually, no - you are also destroying it.

What's your job that does not require a brain, zombie keeper perhaps?

"UK storms destroy railway line and leave thousands without power"

BBC News - UK storms destroy railway line and leave thousands without power

Destroy, not erode.

Your pedantry is trumped by your stupidity.

Well done!!

Thats half the problem. Given that there is a big ******* fibre that runs up a beach from the US then heads off to London and passes many very nice places on the way, Cornwall could be a centre of excellence for Low environmental impact home working. But instead everyone looks at the place as somewhere that you go to eat fish and chips….

Given a choice of living in Fowey and working from Home using decent collaboration tools or sitting in a crap office in Old street there is no competition. Why are we not asking the EU to bail out the Rail line? god knows what other infrastructure we have paid towards for Jonny foreigner

Having spent Christmas in cornwall and knowing friends who live on the Lizard, I've rather gone off the idea in the past month....

I think you will find that the sea eroded the defences that supported the railway line.

It's not the sea erosion that dun it ...

I will make allowances for the fact that your first language is not English.......coupled to the fact that you are a complete muttonhead.

250,000 German tourists visit Cornwall each year, due to tulipe Rosamunde Pilcher books and TV series.

The cheapest and easiest solution is to just repair the line via Dawlish and add extra protection from the sea erosion.

Who goes to the South West on business apart from a care home facilities manager?

I'm sure there's more than you think. The Forces. Tourism businesses. Farming. Smugglers. Residents who travel out of the south-west to work. Shaunbhoy.

Anyone doing business in the South West I imagine.

I hope so, it's beautiful.

BP what is your beef with trains? SAying "only tourism" is ridiculous because tourism is one of the big uses of trains!

Oh but they will.

When they are faced with nostalgic memories of holidays past, people forget that although the price of road is roughly the same as rail, this is a result of the fact of a huge cost differential being masked by taxes and subsidies - rail travel receives huge subsidies, but road pays large taxes.

Roads are inherently much cheaper than rail.
