NETWORK Rail is trialling a monitoring system which provides early warning of earth movements at sites in Scotland.
Surface mounted tilt meters have been located at 26 sites, including on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow line, East Kilbride branch, between Aberdeen & Inverness and on the line to Kyle of Lochalsh. A further seven sites will get the monitoring equipment in the coming months and by April 2024, 100 sites will be monitored.
