    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    Thanks. The bases were only evident between the platforms, so I assume a very wide span will be used to the West with different piles / bases. Forgot to mention that they've cut a channel from the Eastern end of platform 4 to the buffers at platform 5. Its all covered with plastic covers for...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    No, just the uprights. I've just been on the Richmond Street Bridge not far from IKEA and looking East there is structure whereas looking West where the Junction splits towards Denton, there isn't any sign of masts.

    Crossed Berry Brow level crossing earlier today heading from Droylsden to Failsworth. I spotted 4 masts to my right between the crossing and the viaduct (known locally as the Ten Arches). Didn't get chance to see if anything was erected on the viaduct.

    Disruption to services - Storm Dudley & Storm Eunice

    Storm track not nailed yet with hints of Southerly corrections that would see the strongest winds hitting the Midlands and Southcoast. This also could bring blizzard conditions and significant falls of snow into Northern England and as far South as the Peak District / Derbyshire dales.

    Publication of Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands

    Having read the publication about the 'New' line from Warrington to Marsden, it gets very confusing. If you look at this, The dark blue is the new line but it must also be the old line as it isn't showing an alternative to the Stalybridge route. It also seems to suggest that the whole route will...

    Collision and derailment near Salisbury (Fisherton Tunnel) 31/10/21

    Not unusual. I was at Stalybridge a couple of days ago and RTT said 150101 was coupled to a 156. When it entered P5, it was 156423 & 156428 so proof that its not totally accurate.
