The very hot and dry conditions of recent weeks has dried out the clay soil beneath the embankments between Tisbury and Gillingham 🌡️
When clay dries out, it shrinks. This is causing track defects, which means we cannot run trains at full speed 🚆

You can see in this photo that the level of the track has been disturbed because of the earth moving 🛤️
Vegetation by the line is also sucking up the remaining moisture in the embankment and causing more earth movements 🌳
It's a problem known as Soil Moisture Deficit.
