How much damage was done to the OHLE? There must have been
*some*, surely?

That's why I'm sceptical it was scaffolding that fell on the line (some
reports say scaffolding fell on the *bridge* and made it collapse, which
seems even less likely).

And Mr Thant didn't report seeing anything odd, and I hope he wouldn't
have missed scaffolding on the line.

They seem to have got things running again as soon as this afternoon, so
I suspect the only thing that fell to the track level was a few concrete
blocks (which missed the OHL) - and the Network Rail complaint seems to
confirm this.
