On the evening of Friday February 18, as Storms Eunice and Franklin did their worst, Network Rail received an urgent response fault request about a loose roof covering at Luton station. The roof’s top covering had begun to peel back, and if it continued to unravel it could potentially have fouled and damaged the overhead line equipment.
