I wonder why they've used a mixture of yards and kilometres? Seems a bit odd; I'd have thought they'd use either fully metric or (less likely) fully imperialFrom the NR Tweets:
“To put the repairs into context, we’re expecting to replace 1,456 sleepers, three sets of points, the moveable rails which enable trains to change course, 1,010 yards of new track and 3km of cable for signalling and power supply.”
That’s getting on for the full length of the tunnel, which is something they were proposing might happen a few days ago.
