*[[Oldbury Viaduct]]: the track bed was washed out immediately south of the viaduct, and the face of the embankment began to slide towards [[Daniel's Mill]] (which was also damaged). To resolve the problem a retaining wall was built, consisting of 25 concrete piles up to 30 feet in depth capped with a concrete beam.<ref>[https://pascoe-ltd.co.uk/project/daniels-mill-slope-reconstruction/ P&S Consulting Engineers website] (Retrieved 29 December 2018)</ref>
*[[KnowlesandsSidings|Knowlesands]]: Three sections of the railway were washed out in the area previously affected in November 2000. The repair involved replacing the unstable ground with ‘reinforced earth’, new fill material sandwiched with geotextile mesh.
*Eardington Summit: Two cutting walls collapsed across the line, contaminating the track ballast. New cutting walls were built, reinforced with old concrete sleepers, and the track was re-ballasted.
