Earlier this year, after some of the wettest months on record, cracks were detected in this railway embankment in the Hague Bar area of Derbyshire along the line between New Mills Central and Manchester Piccadilly.

In early April 2024, initial ground investigations were carried out at the site of the ground movement near to the tracks and Network Rail quickly confirmed that immediate emergency work was required to repair the slope that supports the railway.

Lots of engineers and equipment are working here flat out 24/7 to stabilise the embankment. If the work is not carried out, there is a risk of 50,000 tonnes of earth falling from the railway into the adjacent River Goyt leaving the line closed for an even longer period.
