The upgrade work on the above route is anticipated to be complete by 2014. Will this result in all container trains from Felixstowe presently routed via North London Line being rerouted via Nuneaton - and what if any time savings will this provide?

No weekend diversions for the forseeable future, but there are eleven
intermodal services diverted via Leicester on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings/overnight for the next couple of months!

Thanks. Do you know if it's GBRF or Freightliner?

Just one thing I really want to find out, does anyone know the times that the Freightliners will run through Leicester between 17:00 and 19:00?

None - the first of the eleven trains is due through at 20:05

The first two (towards Felixstowe) are due between 20:00 and 20:35,
with the remaining nine between 22:05 and 02:35.

(only Monday to Wednesday nights though, remember!)

Soham - Ely was never double track in the first place. The LNER were going to do it apparently but then decided against it. From the plans I've seen they are only putting back the loop at Ely Dock Jn, not doubling throughout.

There is mention in Rail Mag that the line will be double
