Shooting for Network Rail in the wake of the Winter storms
Daily Mail coverage of the re-opening of the railway line at Dawlish, Devon
Shooting hand-held at dusk (it was actually almost dark) with a telephoto lens trying to avoid the spring tidal surge (threatening to engulf you and the equipment any moment) while persuading the police to let you through because you must get the shot. No easy task. This is the top image in the Mail’s coverage.
Government Minister, Patrick Mcloughlin with Network Rail Boss, Mark Carne, inspecting the damage at Dawlish while attempting to dodge spring tides hitting the already broken sea wall. Worthy of note is the bizarre weather; cloudy and stormy one moment followed by moments of blindingly bright sunshine.
A huge amount of media attention followed the events at Dawlish, Devon.
