I just caught an Epping train from the eastbound platform at Stratford.
At the front end of the platform, about half a carriage up the platform, I saw a hole in the centre of a running rail, about 3cm in height and of variable width but about 1cm at its widest.
I tried to photograph it but my flash kept coming on, and the trains were frequent, so I abandoned.
How could such a hole appear? It almost looked like something had cut into it by accident, but I don't see how this would be possible. Would it be of any significance?
