Why bridge strikes cause delays – and what the industry is doing to reduce the delays
Bridge strikes – where a vehicle crashes into a bridge that carries the railway or into a bridge over the railway – are a significant problem.
After a bridge has been hit, no trains can travel over it until it has been checked to make sure that it is safe. Trains may have to divert or be cancelled, all leading to delays for passengers.
