Rig set up in the space between the two lines at Cross gates would appear to be undertaking bore hole investigation work probably associated with piling for electrification gantries. I have noticed similar investigation going on at various location between Garforth and Neville Hill, including...

Noted there is a quantity of OLE steelwork in the compound at Marsh Lane when passing earlier today.

There is an article in Railway Gazette: First Trans Pennine Express is hopeful that it will be able to issue a call for expressions of interest in the provision of additional bi-mode trains before the end of March. Does anybody have any info on what they are looking for?

The ideal solution would be to 4 track Marsh Lane to Thorpe Park and for the fasts to then take the HS2 route to Ulleskelf thereby overcoming the issue of stoppers standing on the fast lines at stations.

Just as everyone is getting up to get off and is blocking the aisle, the Guard has to make their way from the rear cab to the door control position to operate the doors. Why wasn't door control from the cab part of the original specification?

I presume the wait is while the guard undertakes their checks, gone are the days of slam door stock when passengers would open the doors before the train had stopped.

The issue with the door operating buttons is that the red door out of use light is illuminated when the doors are locked, this combined with the delay in releasing the doors once stationary in the station leads people to panic that they will not be able to get off and start moving up and down...

Thanks for the confirmation, I am not aware of any other services going that way, most non stops run through the platforms, either 3 or 5 depending on direction.

Did this service go via the station avoiding lines at York? Is it the first passenger service to do so?

Important? Incessant anti-litigation babble

Who at Northern decided it would be a good idea to bombard their customers on new trains with endless announcements through the PA. Can the volume be reduced by the crew?

There is a drilling rig undertaking SI in the carpark at Garforth, drilling is taking place in the disabled bays alongside the track and could either be investigation for electrification mast piles or for DDA improvements in the form of a new footbridge. Does anyone know what is going on?

The plan to leave the masts over the Leeds lines between Colton and Church Fenton until the autumn must have changed, most of the mast on the Leeds side between Colton and Brumber Hill went up on Saturday night.

Thanks for the update, very informative. There appears to be a compound formed trackside off the bridle path between Brumber Hill Farm bridge and Colton Lane Bridge. They have just completed the soil stabilisation to form the compound yard slab.

Has the work to Hambleton feeder been completed?

All piles presumed installed. Excellent update thanks, with regard to piling being complete, there are two piles sat on their side in the space between the Normanton lines where the platforms of Bolton Percy station were located. Also when I last looked there were no piles in the area of the...

There are a lot more masts up now, most seem to be twin track cantilevers either side of the lines to give coverage of all 4 tracks. Nearly all the masts are up from the Braegate lane compound to the over bridge on the Appleton Roebuck road. 75% installed between the Appleton Roebuck overbridge...

That make sense, there are holding down bolts screwed into the top of the piles at the former Bolton Percy station site, may be a precursor of them about to start there
