I went to Railfest on Thursday and while waiting for my train home, I noticed something strange on the track. I was just returning from the toilet and was walking past platform 8 when I saw a silver wavy line on the track. I wondered what the purpose of it is. Platform 8 at York is a bay platform as many of you will be aware. I thought it was some sort of warning that the train is close to the buffers (does it cause the train to vibrate in a similar way to the warnings on motorways?) I then realised that the Pacer that uses the bay would stop on these as they continued for a short while down the platform, so thought this might not be the case.
I decided to take a photograph of it to put on here (it should be attached if I have done it right!). The photograph was taken on platform 6 (which had the same wavy line on the track) as platform 8 was almost empty so I thought I would look a bit odd.
Any ideas what it is for?
