The flooding near Carlisle last week seemed predictable, low lying area etc, Shap is more surprising, unless there is an odd dip I can't recall.
Perhaps Network Rail should be required to have a 'climate change resilience' plan for the railway, with a programme of works to harden the railways against flooding and high tides. I presume the wind risk is more foreign objects getting blown onto the tracks than trains being blown over as the Forth Bridge manages fine without wind shielding whereas the Road Bridges require that (or close).
Can be as simple as rain running straight off saturated fields - we can’t get out of our back door at the moment because of this.
