Drone footage reveals scale of Oakengates rail line landslide

Drone footage captured by Network Rail has captured the scale of a landslip on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton rail line.

About 5,000 tonnes of material is thought to have moved following the collapse near Oakengates on 8 March.

The engineer leading repairs said it was the biggest landslip he had dealt with in his career.

Rail services are expected to be out of action until the Easter weekend with buses brought in to ferry passengers between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton.
