Dangerous occurrences
Dear Network Rail Limited,
Can you provide details of dangerous occurrences that took place during the rail strike days 13th and 14th December 2022.
In particular was there a report of a train being sent through a tunnel at Belgrove Glasgow when the signaller has put a line block in place?
