Two cameras have been fitted to the South Western Railway (SWR) train, named Hotshot, to monitor tracks across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset and London. Neil Drury, engineering and infrastructure director for SWR, said the cameras were helping to identify potential infrastructure issues before they escalated. During an earlier, more limited trial, engineers were able to fix a fault near Ashtead, in Surrey, with no delays to passengers, whereas a similar issue once caused delays of more than 41 hours, Network Rail said.
