I believe that there are over 300 worksites around the country this xmas period.

Is there a list of them in one place anywhere?

I know some have started already such as Lowestoft.

There is a list, but it’s not in the public domain. Probably the best you can hope for is to go on the NR website, and click though each route’s Christmas Engineerigm work press release. That will give the main works in each route.

300? More like 4000 ;)

I can comfortably say this, as I run the team that compiles the stats every bank holiday!

Don't think anything is happening at Lowestoft.

Maybe one day your team will actually learn that Scotland has different bank holidays from England and Wales and take cognisance of that in the reporting....

Care to cite an example? Our comms teams may not always get everything right all of the time, but they’re not daft.
Where bank holidays are not the same north and south of the border, it’s not always an easy message when there are two arterial main lines running to/from both countries.

2nd Jan is a Bank Holiday in Scotland but not England. Everyone needs an extra day to recover from Hogmanay! ;)

That’s not quite what I meant
I’m aware of the different bank holidays, it was an example of where this hadn’t been acknowledged that I was after.

Felixstowe Line: New points installed for what will be Gun Lane Junction, new set installed just Ipswich side of the current switches at Trimley, and a new crossover installed country side of Trimley, all currently clipped and padlocked pending commissioning later in the year.
