@sonningcutting @networkrail And it's all because they chopped down all the trees. The tree roots were binding the embankment together. It was designed that way by Ismbard Kingdom Brunel in the 1860's and it lasted with no landslides until 2024, after all the trees were chopped down by @networkrail

Ouch, this is hurting. Can I have some more anesthetic please? @networkrail

[Sonning Cutting @sonningcutting]

oh no!! that's nearly as bad as the works at Shepherds Hill to fix my landslide

[Sonning Bridge @sonningbridge]

ATTENTION - anyone coming south bound across me, if you want to get to the A4, continue all the way along the B478. Do NOT turn right into Pearson Road!!! Pound Lane is shut, for several weeks.
Attntn @SGNgas poor signs!

@RDGWhatsOn Me, obviously. Built by men with wheelbarrows and spades. Wouldn't get to Paddington on a train without me!

Well done to the team on the ground from @ThamesWater who appear to have finished the work a day ahead of schedule despite the most horrendous weather imaginable today!
