*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.
*[[Sterns]]: The traditional ‘weak spot’ was not affected during the storm itself, but further slips began in the following weeks. A 150 foot long piled concrete retaining wall was built alongside Sterns Cottage, and a great deal of ‘soil nailing’ was carried out.
*Hampton Loade: The side of the embankment collapsed by the caravan park north of Hampton Loade station. The repair was achieved using ‘reinforced earth’ and the installation of new drainage.
