Jumping sleeper

[pompeyfan]

I've noticed that on the up fast at Eastleigh, roughly inline with the shunt limit at the country end of platform 1 that there is quite a bit of vertical movement from both the rails and sleepers when a fast train passes over approx 3 inches. I would assume that this isn't ideal, but doesn't pose a significant risk?

Best thing to do is report it to a staff member. They can then get it looked at by the correct people.

^^ This. Or report it to Network Rail on 03457 11 41 41.

Slight bit of voiding underneath the sleeper, NR will be aware of it as it will be picked up by a test train, and if it gets too bad, will schedule a tamper over the section of line.

Nothing to be worried about.
