Timelapse shows heritage railway track repairs

Timelapse footage has been released showing engineers completing repairs on a section of track after a landslip closed a heritage railway line.

The Severn Valley Railway, which runs for 16 miles (26km) from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, to Bridgnorth, Shropshire, suffered a landslip in January.

It meant trains could only run to Hampton Loade, cutting out the Bridgnorth section of the line.

On Friday, the line will officially reopen as the famous Flying Scotsman locomotive steams into Bridgnorth.
