Train driver reported a 'rough ride'

http://www.networkrail.co.uk/news/2013/feb/Disruption-to-rail-services-in-the-Doncaster-area-Stainforth/
We have been monitoring the track near Hatfield colliery at Stainforth since Saturday afternoon (9 February 2013) when a train driver reported a 'rough ride'. Train services in the area have been carefully managed to protect safety.
Unfortunately conditions have deteriorated and it is no longer possible to run services through the area. We anticipate that there will be disruption to services between Doncaster and Goole and Doncaster and Scunthorpe for some time.

Understatement of the year.....:eek:

Interesting the way that it seems to have slid in under the track.

It's worth noting that the track didn't get to that condition before they stopped running services over it. The landslip is continuing - the latest aerial shots indicate that it has worsened even since that picture was taken.

Apparently, it will be two months after the ground has finally settled before they can get things up and running again.
