๐ Most of the railway will be open this Christmas while we carry out essential engineering works. ๐ท
The Christmas window allows teams to complete complex projects that we can't carry out during normal railway operations:

Good of James Blunt to highlight the perils of not paying attention at level crossings.
Whether on foot, in a car or even on a tiny tractor, there are #NoSecondChances around the railway. Always stop on amber, and stop, look and listen every time you use a level crossing.
๐ค How do you strengthen a railway cutting that dates back to the 1840s?
At Sonning Cutting near Reading, weโre using thousands of soil nails, high-strength mesh and drainage systems to reinforce slopes and reduce the risk of landslips:

Drones, sensors, and smart CCTV are helping us identify and catch trespassers faster than ever:
