Passengers abandoned a train after huge waves left it stranded on a coastal track. The Arriva Cross Country service broke down when its electrics failed between Dawlish and Teignmouth at about 21:30 BST on Sunday. The same stretch of track was destroyed by winter storms last year and was out of action for several months.
