Overview

Sometimes called ‘the windbreak to the UK’ the South West of the country has its fair share of extreme weather.  

This talk will outline how Network Rail’s Wales & Western Region are dealing with our increasingly challenging weather and they we are putting plans in place to adapt to climate change.  

Case studies of more traditional weather resilience work will be covered as well as an outline of a natural flood management scheme and a description of the adaptation pathway process used by Network Rail to set out choices for funders as climate change progresses.
