Please get comfortable as this is a long thread from our MD John Halsall to explain what’s happened at #EastGrinstead and what we’re doing to get it fixed. Here goes…
We've had a landslip near East Grinstead station, so it’s not safe to run trains @SouthernRailUK @TLRailUK
We already had a smaller landslip at the same site on December 28 last year, however we were able to run trains safely by introducing a 20mph speed restriction. Since then we’ve been monitoring the embankment closely and designing options for a long-term fix.
However, the recent severe weather as a result of Storm Ciara and heavy rain overnight yesterday has beaten us to it, because the ground has started moving again and the embankment has got worse.
