The car park at Dawlish railway station will be closed to vehicles tomorrow (Tuesday 9 August) and Wednesday 10 August, Network Rail has said.

The closure will allow the power supply to be installed for the new accessible footbridge at the station.

A spokesperson for Network Rail said: "Dawlish station car park will be closed to vehicles on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 August as we are due to install the power supply for the lifts for the station's new accessible footbridge.

"Thank you for your continued patience and understanding; we're sorry for any inconvenience."
