ScotRail announced on 3 August that rail temperatures in Scotland reached and even exceeded 50 degrees on 28 June 2018. Consequently Network Rail had to put speed restrictions in place throughout the country in order to avoid tracks buckling. Such a safety measure decreases the risk of train derailments. In addition to the challenging weather conditions that caused the rail tracks to heat up to such an extent, there were a number of signalling problems on the network as well, mostly in the Glasgow area, further contributing to disruption. Network Rail Scotland will be responding by spending an additional five million pounds over the coming eight months to fix the issues around the city. Network Rail Scotland and ScotRail are also performing a review of the hot weather to see what they can learn from the conditions they faced in recent weeks.
