Over the last two weeks, engineers strengthened the railway embankment over a 100 metre section by underpinning the railway, after the embankment became saturated and weakened following the recent heavy rainfall.

Network Rail is using remote condition monitoring at key sites to help monitor ground movement, and will continue to do so at Bough Beech.
