British railway repair units under air attack

Was the British railway system targeted by the Luftwaffe?

It was attacked at points, and Britain maintained specialist Territorial Army units to keep the railways running and repair damage rapidly.

The Luftwaffe targeted parts of Britain's railway system. Territorial Army units specialised in maintaining railway operations and repairing the network quickly. These railway units continued through the Cold War and, in the account given here, expanded while some other specialist capabilities were being reduced. Naval-gunfire coordination units provide the comparison.
