 Railway track. - Ted

One for Bigtee, probably.
I use Manchester Piccadilly a fair few times. I've noticed, over the last years, that a zigzag line of weld has been put on the railhead for some distance before the buffers.

What is this intended to do, give the brakes more grip ? Act like a rumble srrip and wake the driver up ? Or any other purpose. ?
