| Description |
English: The RMT had called called off strikes on Sunday 5th and Monday 7th November 2022. At about 14:30 on Sunday 6th November planned tracked renewals near West Leigh, Havant, were underway although at that point there appears little activity with the job incomplete, unmanned JCBs on the rails and track waiting to be ballasted and have chairs fitted to the concrete sleepers for the 3rd electricity conductor rail widely used in the UK SR region. In the event by 8:30 on the monday the ballast and chairs were fitted but the conductor rail remained absent and engineers still working on the job meaning trains could not run.
Zooming in on the image reveals a little about the tools and lightweight rail vehicles in use at the time the image was taken. The photo was take from a distance of about 200m on quite a high optical zoom, the sx240 is perhaps a 10-year old compact camera but it does have image stabilisation and the bridge parapet could be used for support. However distortion can be seen by railways lines that should obviously be straight. The 3rd rail used to conduct electricity to the trains has been bent of the way and it is probably most of it will be reseated back on the chairs that are on every 4th or so sleeper at some point. Compared to the previous day the sleepers on the new track are seated in stone ballasts and have the chairs fitted. |
