What is the next station after Shawfair? Is the trackbed ready? Newton Grange doesn't look like it will be ready for track for months. They have made a real mess there. They haven't even started building the station yet have they ?. At the rate the track Laying is going they might have to...

Ok thank you

Does anyone have photos of the new track? Does that mean signals can be errected

Thank you very much for your reply. Did you get a look at the track bed ? Is it like tynehead, Ready fir Ballast? Also does anyone know if they've started building any of the other stations yet?. Just that the onevwhere the houses had to be demolished looked like they started. N they had piles...

Thank you :). It is indeed Tynehead though I cant find the picture with tge sleepers. Apparently the slooe cartied a line from a goods yard and another branch I thjnk. But the trackbed does look pretty much ready for ballast.

Ah ok thank you. The picture I was refering to was on rail brit I think. Excuse my typing last night. My phone's autocorrect is a nightmare There is definatley a section where there is a downhill slope of a former rail line. In that picture it described the base being down and ready fir...

The month is nearly over can't anyone find out the exact date id like to drive up n take pictures if possible of the first rails being laid . just a question of where. I actually think there's a bit which the trackbed just neefs ballast I don't know the name of the location but there a load of...

Having seen pictures many sections of trackbed look ready for ballast. and some bridges are ready too. Shawford station us already under construction. does anyone know an exact start date for ballast and track laying. Any idea where they will start. It looks like some of the middle n southern...

I was in Wetherby last weekend stopping off on the way back from up north. Had a meal at the Wetherby whaler. She used to live in Tockwith but before that leeds. Anyway I was asking about the railway line and she said how she's thought it used to be great n I think she said it went onto...

Howden station is like that I think

Hi Paul just seen this message. Many thanks for the welcome :)

Wouldn't it be more useful to divert it after Hawick back toward the Bruder counties line and reopen all the way to the Ecml?

It's only enough been looked at by local councils. Indeed and fairly reliably the local channels (offical), Said they had genuinely been talking with Network rail And other parties to see if it could be done. Through Crowle there are two houses on the track bed and an extension on the old...

Last Year the Line from Scunthorpe and from Hull was breached nr Hatfield that kept the biggest and busiest frieght route in the uk closed for most of the year. However. Around Crowle (Nr Scunthorpe). Is a line called Axholme Joint. It Ran from Haxey junction to Goole. Now the Irony is most...

Smartest are a lot of Scottish stations ive been to. Waverley is great. And I think St Pancras despite being too far south for me is incredible. As for shabby the disgusting and national scandal almost of the line from Scunthorpe to Doncaster. My local Station Crowle (south aka Ealand). Is...

Getting back on topic. Any news on the project is there any news on progress toward track laying ?. What about the city bypass . Isn't that meant to be completed by April? . The bridge at Harden green seems like it needs additional beams to connect it to the network as it looks like a sheer end...

I read on the project site that track laying isn't far away. Anyone know where they are likely to start?

It's a shame they can't reuse the old station. It would be amazing to see trains in thete again. Somehow As for the huge office block they ought to flatten it and build a full glass atrium and perhaps recreate the style of the original station in terms of reclaimed materials and style. I'm no...

A route IMHO that would be well used, perhaps could be the next big reopening in Scotland. The A84 is a nightmare but a railway would have a huge positive influence on a scenic and Busy place like that, and it would also provide a quicker route from Edinburgh to the west coast

Thank you for the pictures :)
