    But your service continued to operate.This was not the case before the rail level was raised.

    Perhaps it may be desirable to plan for a further raising of track to prepare for climate change, but such work would cause more disruption than occasional brief episodes of flooding.

    What about the idea of building a 10m high seawall between the line and the footpath. It would be cheaper and cause less disruption than raising the line. It wouldn't block out the view of the sea for walkers or cyclists only for passengers, I think it would be a price worth paying to prevent disruption.
