[Geology2] Major disruption for rail passengers in Yorkshire after tracks are left twisted by colliery landslip

What is fascinating is that this land slip appears to have bubbled up from below the railroad tracks in Yorkshire.

Look at how the tracks have been displaced.

They are not sure how to fix the problem.

Here is another picture from CA in USA of how a landslip can leave the surface intact as it moves downward, look at the trees and fencing.

Rail passengers in Yorkshire face long delays today after tracks were left twisted due to a landslip.

The damage was caused by a 'spoil tip' - coal-mining waste material - from Hatfield Colliery sliding under the track and causing it to break up.

Network Rail said it had been forced to close the line between Doncaster, Goole and Scunthorpe after the track became unsafe.

A train driver first reported concerns about buckling of the track in Stainforth, near Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, on Saturday but it was not until early yesterday morning that pit staff raised the alarm after the track conditions worsened.
