The Perils of Investigation – Drill Rig Falls onto Open Railway Line

Fortunately no-one was hurt but as the rig fall was related to the partial collapse of an overbridge the line did remain close for over 24hrs whilst the bridge was made safe.  Details as known at this stage can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/partial-bridge-collapse-barrow-on-soar but more information should become available once the Rail Accident Investigation Branch have completed their investigations.
