    Oh ok sidmouth i wasent aware of that its caused damage before but no suprises there how close the trackbed and sheds are to the river worth even the local buses in Cleckheaton where i live are been diverted around the valley road routes due to flooding off the spen beck and storm ciara, its most certainly causing some damage nationwide today

    The railway's website is advising they are (were) closed today due to the weather and flooding.
