Tomorrow should reach the milestone of the East and West parts of EWR joined together, rails have been pulled and the track laying machine is in position. I wonder how much press coverage this will generate. Some pictures from Jim Scott (one of the drivers on the scheme) - Reposted from Jim...

Yep you sure did miss it. But perhaps it is the perception of the word freight. If your thinking of commercial paths then not for some time that's for sure, but as discussed in other HS2 meetings the plan has always been for the rail head to be built in earnest and construction deliveries and...

It's been quite for a short while hear while great progress is being made on the construction work. We begin with a Picture update with photos from Phil Marsh vis his X site. Thanks, Phil fantastic pictures. Calvert interface area as of 29th November 2023. View from the new Addison Road and...

Quite a bit of development happening. Here are some pictures taken by Ron, Ron, Ron of the RM Web forum (https://www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/65959-east-west-rail-bletchley-to-oxford-line/page/139/) - E-W Track laying on the approaches to the bridge over HS2 and the future HS2 infrastructure depot...

Another video on YouTube appeared today showing the construction work around the EWR/HS2 site. Track bed works are coming along nicely but shows the scale of the work needed to be done yet - Posted originally by Micky2Cams

Two videos appeared on YouTube this afternoon posted by 'DronePix'. Both of interest and well done, but sadly the first did not complete the passage from EWR track end to track end over the HS2 site but shows the current build status. 1. Calvert Buckinghamshire EWR HS2 flight path 2...

An interesting video appeared today re the Claydon/Calvert HS2/EWR crossing site. Made a point that when HS2 finishes the bridges it will be handed over to EWR teams to finish the embankments and tracklaying.

I could not agree more, I know EWR wanted and hoped for an earlier handover. If I recall correctly, it was expected to be Mid-July or before. However, recent videos on progress here and on YouTube, plus other information from the HS2 camp, appear to have scuppered those hopes - at least for...

There has been a couple of questions or remarks lately regarding the construction timeline. The following link to an HS2 document mentions the works being undertaken from the Calvert area to Quainton. Page 9 onwards. Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, Summer 2023 A useful overview but as we...

In reply to post #1059 "There will be a similar layout at Claydon on the down where there will be access to the future HS2 infrastructure maintenance depot although I am not sure what is actually being built there now." A page shot from the document on post #411 - Initially, the construction...

One bit that is being overlooked re freight is when the new temporary construction depot for HS2 becomes available at Claydon, a large amount of spoil and construct material will be taken to/from by rail via EWR to keep the reduction of road traffic commitment. Of course, the southern link via...

Another video update from 'Trains,Planes, Phones and Drones' on YouTube, covering East West Rail Link update Winslow and Mursley sections

A closer look at Winslow Station thanks to Aerial Musings on YouTube Bridge going over the road at Claydon - Thanks to Simon B on the RM Web forum (www.rmweb.co.uk) It is reported the embankments are currently being built up. The above picture is from a few days ago.

Deliveries by rail are impacted by strike action depending who it is on strike. Not exempted.

Another short update from Aerial Musings on YouTube re Bletchley High level station A whisper suggests tracks through Winslow by 18th Feb not withstanding any strike action.
