Railway rail fastening apparatus, for suspending a railway rail (1) at discrete locations along its length above a rail foundation (2), comprises two rail suspending assemblies (4A, 4B) located when in use one on each side of the rail (1) . Each assembly (4A, 4B) comprises an elastic member (6) for supporting the head of the rail (1) on one side thereof and a bracket (7) for applying a lateral clamping force to the elastic member (6) ) . The rail suspending assembly (4A) on one side of the rail (1) is located such that the centre line (CLA)of the assembly (4A) is offset with respect to that (CLB) of the rail suspending assembly (4B) on the other side of the rail (1) by x mm along the longitudinal axis of the rail (1) , where x is 50>=x>0 mm. |
