Let's have a look at this, I am reminded so often that most people don't necessarily understand what they are looking at with this industry, so it might be quite interesting to dissect.

🚛 ❌ Vehicles striking bridges is completely avoidable but continues to affect the railway.

🤦♀️remember our lovingly repaired bridge at Ketton?
It's been hit by a driver - AGAIN. Only this time they didn't stop.
Response teams are on their way but no trains able to run over till they get there.
Drivers please #WiseUpSizeUp #BridgeStrikes

@IrishRail Is it just me, or is there an unusual number of bridge strikes this summer? Does @IrishRail keep records of occurences of #BridgeStrikes? I assume you must do? How is it addressed? Does @IrishRail take legal action? @DublinInquirer
