Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image

> Network Rail said the railway line was fully reopened at around 02:00 GMT and it has urged people to "think about the serious impact it could have" before creating or sharing hoax images.

Perhaps Network Rail should have a system of asserting rail integrity that is independent of social media (?!!?)

for real, pick up the phone and ask someone (??)

Right, they probably have an employee on site 24/7 for every piece of track they use. It’s a mystery why they didn’t think of calling them.

"Hello main office, I have seen a rumor on Instagram that a bridge has collapsed. Should I stop all traffic through this region due to this shitpost?"

"Hi please don't - we've had three different trains go through there already. There is no loss of signaling in the area, electrical and infrastructural connections are responding appropriately. We will be sure to contact other drivers and let them know about this"
