I noticed this article https://www.walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk/our-blog/news/from-storms-to-landslides-how-climate-change-is-putting-paths-under-pressure/ and was struck by its wider implications.

Obviously affects that non-volunteer organisation, Network Rail, with increasing embankment and cutting problems.

As Sustrans/Walkwheelcycle Trust point out this is not a problem that is gong to go away. Not sure about the cause of the canal embankment collapse but the Canal & River Trust have similar problems.

So anywhere that involves Victorian embankments and cuttings are going to have a more challenging future. Similarly English Heritage has had a major problem with Hurst Castle in 2021, with part of the building undercut by storm waves. English Heritage is now a "self-funding" charity.

I am sure other forum members can point out similar problems on our heritage railways.

Major funding issues to sort out such problems with the outcome not as "sexy" as other projects. "It looks like it always did, where did all the money go?"
