Title: Emergency work to secure cutting near Chipping Camden Post by: Oxman on August 14, 2013, 16:39:12 According to NR press release:
http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/News-Releases/Emergency-works-to-secure-North-Cotswold-line-begins-1e26.aspx the cutting next to the tunnel has started to slip and stabilisation work is to be undertaken.

Wonder if that contributed to the slip? It is possible, looking at the shape of the slip, that it is dumped spoil from when the tunnel was bored.

I think that the academics have missed a trick by talking about landslides near the Yangtse - some plots of a spoil tip in the Doncaster area might have been more relevant!
