🌧Unfortunately, our hopes of reopening the #Newington landslip early on Thursday have gone with the wind that's battering our team there. The best we can hope for is around 0900 and @Se_Railway + @TLRailUK are putting plans in place for passengers in the early morning. /1
This pic from the train collecting the spoil shows what our temporary solution to the slip looks like, and although we're confident we can get this done early tomorrow we aren't confident enough that it will totally stop the earth movement. /2 
So we're going to monitor the site for a bit before trains run and open when we are sure it is safe. At the moment that's around 0900 but we would strongly advise passengers to check before they travel, as the weather is awful and the spoil at the site is saturated. /3
We're so sorry for the constantly changing goalposts at #Newington landslips and weather are not always predictable and we are doing our best to get it open for you. Huge thanks - and we are all hoping for a brighter day tomorrow. 🙏🏻🌞
Just to add, we got these pictures through from site just now (2245) and they give a flavour of how wet and wild and muddy it is there. It's much easier to Tweet about than to fix!
