This was the bit that concerned me.

"In a separate study by Network Rail, engineers concluded that half of the UK's 10,000km (6,000 miles) of railway cuttings and embankments were in "poor" or "marginal" condition, leaving them vulnerable to extreme weather events."

Look what happened to the Severn Valley and Gloucester & Warwick railways.
