Do Network Rail do any kind of checks or investigations for the
potential of such sink holes... indeed is it even possible?

(A question for someone versed in soil mechanics I guess... a
fascinating field of which I have no expertise!)

I'd be more worried about what caused it. Clearly there was some sort of
void underneath that had been forgotten about. A disused sewer or a cellar
or something? I wonder how many more there are?
