Repairing the Landport Viaduct with Network Rail

Description
Down at Portsmouth & Southsea station there is the Landport Viaduct - the structure that platform 1 & 2 are built upon. Network Rail recently had a blockade on the section down to Portsmouth Harbour so that they could replace the wheel timbers, but ... what are wheel timbers?

Also, "1435mm" is indeed frequently used by engineers, it's more of the enusiasts who still use the imperial measurement terms. I'm definetely going to start using '1434' more when referring to track width!

The Guildford - Petersfield blockade is also happening this week, and there are no services on that part of the Portsmouth line : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-60338304
