A solar-powered scarecrow that mimics the calls of a hawk is being used to ward off birds causing delays to passengers travelling between Manchester and London Euston. Large numbers of birds have been damaging the electric arms of Avanti West Coast’s Pendolino trains and overhead line equipment giving them power at Alstom depot in Longsight, Manchester. Now Network Rail and the train operator has installed the device which humanely scares the birds away while protecting them from potential electrocution. NR 28.08.20 |
