RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 22 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22 Insider information suggests known faulty drainage connected with a golf course, the golf were supposedly liable for the drainage but no doubt more information will come to light. 195104 (leading) and 195133 were involved and 104 has sustained a lot of damage. Line likely to be shut for a while. 1 1 1 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsmiththai Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 DRS have run a Kingmoor-Sellafield flask train this morning through Workington. Still no passenger services running so they must have let it run as a permissive working Expect all the nukes to run north until Grange gets sorted It appears that they are going to inspect all the line around Grange. Don't know how long that will take 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted March 25 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25 A video of the site has been posted on Youtube. It shows blue marks on the seawall approx where the bogie centres are.
