  The same thing happened on a bigger scale to the line at Dawlish a couple of years ago - it left west Devon and Cornwall isolated with long diversions so repairs became a priority and happened very quickly.
  
  Against the same thing happening here so quickly are the alternative routes put in place immediately, with a bus service connection over a relatively short distance and the HS2 being rerouted to Canterbury and Ramsgate. That in itself brings into focus the government commitment to the route and what the short or long term loss of it will have on Dover's recovery - with many developments like Western Heights being promoted with the speed of the connection to London.
  
  None of this is being helped by the focus in the media rightly at present being on the far worse events in the north.
