This was a very sad accident. People have walked along the sea wall for years - the "all options" comment is worrying as it might mean a popular vantage point might end up being closed off as a kneejerk reaction.
Network Rail has been blasted ‘irresponsible’ after the death of a teenager who fell off the sea wall at Dawlish earlier this year. Fourteen-year-old Albina Yevko was killed falling four metres off the unprotected edge of the wall beside the railway line onto concrete below. Hundreds of people have signed an online petition calling for safety measures. Network Rail revealed today that a new risk assessment of the area is under way and ‘all options’ will be considered. Albina and her mother Inna moved to the UK after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and had settled well into life in the town, where Albina attended Dawlish College.
