I'm surprised to see no one else mention that it only took them an hour and a half to get an inspection done, signed of on and the lines reopened? That seems pretty impressive for something as important as a rail bridge.
I mean, it's the time to get an inspector off of bed, on the road, to the site, and for them to go “yup, bridge's still there” and call back...
For a “once in decades” event you would normally expect that people aren’t really on call to respond in a few minutes.
Network Rail have emergency response crews.
In reality though they’re responsible, so they’re going to do a proper assessment regardless.
