Scunthorpe landslip

[Ploughman]

From hearing traffic news through the week I believe there is a landslip between Althorpe and Scunthorpe
Anyone got any details on where the slip is and how bad?
Is it on the embankment or in the cutting leading up to the station?

I have seen the note on Nat Rail enquiries.

It was in the section form the end of the brick viaduct up to the start of the cutting heading towards Scunthorpe station. Not too far from the site access opposite the entrance to the crematorium if you know the area, it seems to have been affecting the Down Road to Doncaster.

Yes I know the area, having done some renewals there over the years.

Thanks all for the details.
