Ockley Railway Landslip 2026 – Drone View of Embankment Repairs, Horsham–Dorking Line Closure Update

Описание: Experience a detailed aerial look at the Ockley railway embankment collapse of January 2026, filmed with high‑resolution drone footage to document one of Surrey’s most significant recent infrastructure failures. This video captures the repair works underway on the Horsham–Dorking line, where a 9‑metre section of embankment slipped in a rotational failure, leaving one track “hanging in mid‑air” and forcing a full closure of the route.

Following days of heavy rain and saturated soils, the embankment gave way, prompting Network Rail engineers to design and implement a major stabilisation programme. The repair plan includes the installation of 47 steel piles to secure and rebuild the collapsed section before the line can safely reopen.

This drone footage documents:

• The collapsed embankment south of Ockley Station
• The exposed track section and surrounding ground movement
• Heavy engineering plant and piling rigs
• Progress on stabilisation and reconstruction

🛠 Project Background
• The landslip occurred after prolonged rainfall caused oversaturation of mixed‑soil embankment material.
• Engineers have been on site since 25 January 2026, working in challenging wet‑weather conditions.
• Disruption is expected until mid‑February 2026, with rail replacement buses and ticket acceptance in place for affected passengers.
• The line forms a key regional link between Horsham, Dorking, London Victoria, and London Bridge, making this closure highly disruptive for commuters and local communities.

🚆 About the Line
The affected section sits on the historic route connecting the Arun Valley to the Mole Valley, serving rural Surrey and providing essential connectivity for villages such as Ockley, Capel, and Holmwood. This corridor has seen multiple weather‑related challenges in recent years, highlighting the increasing importance of resilient railway infrastructure.
