This thread hasn't seen a post this year, but it's been stated in the MML thread that remodelling at Oxford is currently happening.

Maybe, but Prestwich, originally mentioned in #166, is on Metrolink, 750 V DC overhead. It has since been edited to Prestwick, possibly in response to #167.

If you haven't done so, it's worth clicking on until you come to I think the 15th picture - the statue of the soldier on the war memorial apparently watching the demolition.

In 2018, a year before the start of CP6. the government announced that it would publish annual updates on the contents of a new rail enhancements pipeline...

The May issue of Modern Railways has a 7-page feature on TRU. A lot of it will be familiar to regular readers of this thread. The timescales seem to get ever longer. Some of the main points: It mentions the east and west "alliances" that are working on the project. In describing the...

According to the article the track realignment at Neville Hill will not be until 2028. I hope to post a summary of the main points in the article shortly in the TRU thread.
