That's why I'm sceptical it was scaffolding that fell on the line (some 
reports say scaffolding fell on the *bridge* and made it collapse, which 
seems even less likely).

And Mr Thant didn't report seeing anything odd, and I hope he wouldn't 
have missed scaffolding on the line.

They seem to have got things running again as soon as this afternoon, so 
I suspect the only thing that fell to the track level was a few concrete 
blocks (which missed the OHL) - and the Network Rail complaint seems to 
confirm this.
