These include monitoring overhead electric wires to ensure they have not been damaged in the severe weather, and running trains to check for debris on tracks.

Storm Malik caused disruption on Saturday, before the arrival of Storm Corrie on Sunday.
Passenger trains between Edinburgh and Newcastle will initially be required to run at slower speeds than normal even once the line reopens, leading to further delays to journeys.
Much of the ScotRail network has been affected by the severe weather.
The operator warned passengers on Monday that it has only been able to arrange “very limited replacement transport”.
