<p>We are absolutely committed to ensuring that the South West has the best infrastructure
possible and we are determined to do everything possible to stop damage like we saw
in 2014 happening again. That is why we have invested £31 million into improving the
resilience of rail routes in the South West, and Network Rail spent £40 million on
repairing and strengthening the line at Dawlish after the extreme weather.</p><br
/><p>We are working with the rail industry and the Peninsula Rail Task Force as they
explore the potential for longer-term improvements in the area, including the premise
of additional routes to the current mainline route via Dawlish.</p><br />
