The soiled bank above the rock layer is the edge of the extensive platform that is the floor of Network Rail's excavation. The thinking may have been that if another landslip took place it would not reach the railway. The B4452 road runs just beyond the skyline. The blue cover signifies surface water drainage: a series of them extends along by the track. Photographed from the 16:10 Chiltern Railways service from London Marylebone to Birmingham, about seven minutes from Leamington Spa, Sunday 15 May 2016.
