gbw - aftermath of Ciara (Feb 2020)
The state of the Cambrian Coast railway at Afonwen after Storm Ciara - there really is a standard gauge line under that debris thrown up from the beach over the weekend of 8 -> 9 th February 2020.

After significant efforts, the line was cleared to reopen on 17th February 2020.

I had been in Birmingham on the Saturday, and started to travel home by rail on Sunday (at a very reduced speed) but ended up stopping in Preston at lunchtime and staying there overnight, due to the appalling weather [wet and very windy]. That was "interesting" watching lamp standards wobble in the wind from the upper storey windows of the hotel. Finally finished the journey on Monday afternoon.
