Woking: Work under way to repair landslip by railway line

Urgent work is under way to prevent a "potentially dangerous" landslip along a main railway line in Surrey.

Network Rail said it follows the discovery of cracks of up to 45m (148ft) long and 1m (3ft) deep in places in a slope next to the railway near Woking.

Passengers were advised to avoid travelling^[1] due to the work between Woking and Basingstoke from Friday to Sunday.

Matt Pocock, the Wessex route director, said the work was "imperative" to prevent future disruption.
