It appears that the bridge at Liverpool Street Station did not suffer a partial collapse as early reported in the news. However, scaffolding used for overnight engineering work collapsed on to the track. Network rail said in statement that they hoped normal service would resume by 14:00.

 

This is quite a serious incident, if the scaffold collapsed as packed commuter train was passing it could have dire consequences, yes the bridge is ok (thankfully), but the health and safety implications are very serious. Network Rail or whoever was undertaking the work are in serious breach of their own procedures and who was in charge should be dismissed.
