Petteril Bridge derailment – reactive recovery works
12/09/2023 @ 17:00 - 18:00

Mark Evans, Senior Programme Manager – Civils, Network Rail
Birmingham Section online meeting
Synopsis: At about 20:03 on 19 October 2022, the 17:15 Clitheroe to Carlisle Yard freight service derailed at Petteril Bridge Junction near Carlisle. The freight train involved was formed of a Class 66 locomotive and 14 loaded cement wagons, five of these wagons derailed. One of the derailed wagons subsequently entered the river Petteril. The derailment caused significant damage to an underbridge structure which required emergency works to allow the line to reopen to traffic. This presentation will cover the key challenges and site constraints, the reactive recovery operation by Network Rail’s internal delivery team, and the opportunity works undertaken on the closed line to structures and geotechnical assets.
