Raven Rock Summit
Network Rail is currently trialling a monitoring system which provides early warning of earth movements at sites across Scotland’s Railway.
Surface mounted tilt meters have been located at 26 sites across the network with a further seven sites across the country set to be installed in the coming months including on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow line, East Kilbride branch, between Aberdeen & Inverness and on the line to Kyle of Lochalsh.
It is hoped that they will reduce the risk from landslips and improve the overall safety of the railway by detecting movement in slopes above or below the line.
