📢 Innovative approaches in rail embankment monitoring 📢
🚨 Why is this needed, and why should it be widely deployed across the UK Rail Network? 🚨
In just the last 4 weeks:
BBC News 01/12: "Train passengers are being advised to avoid travelling next week due to emergency works to repair a landslip.
Services will be significantly reduced between Woking and Basingstoke from Friday 8 December to Sunday 10 December - affecting routes to Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth - Network Rail said."
RailFreight.com 28/11: "A call to Network Rail’s response unit on the afternoon o 📢 f Monday, 27 November, sounded the alarm for the Midland Main Line. A passing express driver vigilantly notified the infrastructure manager of an unexpected movement on the embankments that run up to the Dronfield Viaduct, which resembled a landslip. Network Rail responded rapidly, and after inspecting the line, it opened it up to traffic just in time to avoid delays during the evening rush."
The Independent 14/11: A landslip between Darlington and Newcastle has been delaying operations on the East Coast main line for several days. One of the two tracks is closed, with long delays expected as northbound and southbound trains share the same line. National Rail reports: “Disruption is expected for the rest of the day.”"
Yorkshire Live 10/11: "Disruption along the rail line between Huddersfield and Leeds will be impacting many people's journeys today following a landslide.
National Rail has reported all services between Huddersfield and Leeds face disruption. The landslip is between Dewsbury and Ravenshorpe, meaning some lines towards Huddersfield and Brighouse are blocked."
Leicestershire Live 6/11: East Midlands Railway has announced big changes to the timetable for the first three days of this week. Urgent repair works are needed on track south of Market Harborough at Braybrooke, in Northamptonshire."
