@Se_Railway Woo hoo. Good news before I start my journey home to FAV from VIC. Pictures of the damage looked awful so hats off for dealing with it so quickly.

⚠️ UPDATE: The line via #Faversham has now reopened and trains are able to run. Services may be delayed, altered or cancelled while we work to restore the service.
