Happy new year!
For those not so familiar with the railway we have an Aqueduct, also known as Bridge 09, at Stanton. It is a 3-span aqueduct with a footpath running over full length of structure. The structure consists of a steel box girder supported on brick piers and concrete abutments with metal handrailing and GRP deck for foot traffic. The watercourse runs from Downside to Upside (right to left in below picture).
The Downside embankment has been, for the last few years, very wet and there have been a variety of minors works done to try and ensure that the water flows over the structure. You can also see from the above photo monitoring posts have also installed due to fears of ground movement.
After having reviewed the problem with our HoD Lineside Drainage, Andrew Laycock, and a contractor Tom Clarke from RJ Clarke we decided to try a different approach and improve the drainage in the slope.
These works were completed in December 2025 so hopefully they will help with the wet season ahead.
Thanks, Sarah
