Point being, if the track was out of alignment, it's solely an LU
matter. I wonder if there's a drainage problem around there - just
south of East Putney where the line curves (next to Keswick Road)
there's a bit of a cutting, though it's nothing dramatic. And just
south of that there's a cut-and-cover tunnel under West Hill (aka the
A3) - maybe it's soggy it there?

I always thought of it as quite a deep cutting when I used the
footbridge over it between Keswick Road and Lytton Grove as a child.

I was thinking of the view from footbridge as I wrote that - maybe
what I meant was that it's not *that* dramatic as a cutting, compared
to many out there.

...quick search...

Note that I've no idea if the scrape actually occurred on this
stretch of track.

I think from the description it must have. There is no other cutting in the
vicinity. The railway is on embankment the other side of the tunnel.
