Here are the list of ECML enhancements with the 4-tracking from Huntingdon to Fletton and the Werrington Junction flyover as the major items.
Looks good to me. Sadly no mention of any scheme to eliminate the Newark flat crossing

The ongoing development work will determine the most cost effective programme of
infrastructure works to robustly deliver an appropriate train service specification. However, as
part of the optioneering process, Network Rail is currently examining the following schemes that
have been identified through the RUS process, as it is anticipated that most will be identified as
being required to provide the outputs:
- capacity relief Huntingdon North Junction – Fletton Junction which may entail 4-tracking for part or all of the distance;
- Peterborough station improvements;
- grade separated junction or other suitable means to allow freight trains from / to the March direction to access / egress the GN / GE joint line at Peterborough independently of the ECML up and down fast lines;
- replacement of the existing flat crossing at Newark of the ECML and the Nottingham – Lincoln lines with grade separation;
- Doncaster station area improvements;
- Darlington station improvements;
- Ferryhill – Newcastle capacity enhancement; and
- Doncaster – Wakefield Westgate additional capacity.
