## Resource

Network Rail’s pouring $130 million over two years to future-proof Britain’s railways against extreme weather—hotter temps, heavier rains, fiercer storms. Built for a climate that’s vanished, the rail network needs urgent upgrades: $73M on earthworks, $37M on drainage, plus $20M on the West Coast Mainline and $3M on the West Highland Line after landslips. Part of a $400M five-year plan, this isn’t just about keeping trains running—it’s about safeguarding communities and ensuring Scotland’s transport stays resilient in a changing climate.
