Lanark Branch Bridge Strike 12th February 2009
12th February 2009

On the afternoon of 12th Feb someone/something hit the Lanark Branches overbridge causing services to be suspended. When I arrived the Police were in attendance and were unsure who was responsible & how it happened. They told me that it was probably the hit & run driver that had reported it but that was pure speculation. Cleghorn Road was closed as well as Lanark services until a Structural Engineer had examined the damage.
