Having been practically on site (a byway skirts the edge of the compound and is bisected by the haul road to the brick building), it's nigh on impossible to get a crane pad or those low-level apparatuses used at other sites into position. Lord knows how they'll manage it at Aycliffe...

That remains to be seem AFAIK. I'm sure it has catered for remodelling in the Leicester area, but what the remodelling entails, none of us on here are sure.

I'm almost certain a good number between Syston & Trent Jns were previously rebuilt.

This one snuck under the radar... https://www.linkedin.com/posts/real-power-supply-upgrade_powersupplyupgrade-ecml-collaboration-activity-7188530096817807360-sgCW?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

I believe so. WNXX reports that 90033 was stored April 2005, and 90030 was stored January 2006, so it's entirely realistic that these 2 locos have spent approx half their lives in store.

Can confirm that the purpose of said drivers' walkway is for maintenance trains (think tampers, test trains, RHTTs etc.) which are otherwise too long to fit in the bay. From what I can tell, only 950001 and an MPV would likely be able to squeeze in.

As I suspected. Did the Harker underground cable require planning permission? Not being completely au fait with planning laws, I don't know if a buried cable would have been outwith the requirement for a planning application.

I don't know about less 350s, but the additional service into Lime St would be throughout the day, rather than just the peaks. Edit: I've also looked on South Ribble BC's Planning portal and have found...nothing. My guess is that any development of a new AT Feeder at Penwortham as others have...

Any news on further phases of WCPSU going into CP7? The 805/807 thread has reported that the Lime Street services might have to be 805s (on diesel beyond Crewe) rather than the original plan of 807s owing to the power supply being inadequate.

I'm sure other OLE-minded folk can divulge more details here, but as far as I can recall: The new connection at Frodsham is live The new ATFS at Crewe (situated nr the existing on on the Manchester lines) was built but remains un-commissioned and mothballed All the AT sites between Crewe &...

Basically - there's very little difference between UKMS & Series 2 (which is what NWEP used).

And they just keep coming! Northallerton TSC has now entered service. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/real-power-supply-upgrade_powersupplyupgrade-ecml-collaboration-activity-7184566260305666051-DkKG?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android As it stands for Phase 2, everything from Hambleton...

Now this is where the devil really is in the detail! At some switching locations (but not all), you have the containerised buildings: FSs (Feeder Stations - almost always with Neutral Sections); TSCs (Track Sectioning Cabins/Cabinets); MPTSCs (Mid-Point TSCs - always with Neutral Sections)...

I believe the plan is still to open Ashington, Seaton Delaval & Newsham to passenger services first, with Northumberland Park, Blyth Bebside & Bedlington to follow at a later date.

I do wonder when/if the point will be reached where it becomes more viable to simply rebuild rather than having a complex network of props. But also - how the hell do you keep the station open during such an extensive rebuild?

Summary for Eastern: Track - critical re-railing and removal of high-speed timber-sleepered S&C Signalling, LXs & Telecoms - ECDP, Cambridge Area Resignalling, early development of ETCS on MML. ETCS deployment on MML to follow in CP8. OLE - reducing dewirement risk in stations and targeted...

Post-Easter update - not been officially announced on REAL's LinkedIn, but the new Tollerton TSC appears to be in service now. Passed it a few minutes ago and blue earths were up on the old green TSC; its connections to the 25kV shorn. IIRC the 'bare feeders' on the Down side were meant to be...

That's what all the sources seem to suggest.

Braybrooke's already gone live at the National Grid end, and the grid connection at Kegworth is all but confirmed.
