    Werrington grade separation updates

    You can still access the Hurn Road bridge. There's a temporary path that goes from the Lincoln Road bridge. You can see the route in this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aebrookes/49006484007/in/album-72157676481607268/ and a map of routes around the work area here...

    Would anyone know whether the bank holiday ECML work involves anything at Werrington?

    Werrington grade separation updates

    A few new photos from today added to my album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aebrookes/sets/72157676481607268 I'm a little unsure what the new concrete foundation pads being built alongside the Lincoln Road bridge are for. I'd appreciate if anyone can confirm. My theory is that perhaps this is...

    Werrington grade separation updates

    I was passing so visited again today. The Cock Lane footbridge has now reopened with the ramp removed and the new temporary span and stairs erected. All looks rather good to say it is only a temporary structure. The 132 kV power lines feel rather close. I'm wondering if the nearest line is...

    Werrington grade separation updates

    Yes, that's where the two tracks, Up Diveunder and Down Diveunder, will pass beneath the A15. The road you see is being diverted but they'll be a bridleway alongside the new railway line through the bridge.

    Werrington grade separation updates

    Had a look around again today. The Cock Lane footbridge is now closed temporarily, with work to remove the ramp on the western side appearing to be starting this afternoon. According to the notice the footpath will reopen next Sunday. Temporary steps have been built to replace the ramp. The...

    Yes, this is going to be a buried culvert with the Down Stamford above. Behind the industrial units is going to be a permanent maintenance access track for NR and others. I imagine they'll also be using the area behind the units for utility diversions. North of the footbridge where land is...

    DTV Airport (Teesside Airport)

    It's been said before but I think the point is worth emphasising again considering the suggestions that Northern should improve the DTV service. The main problem is the distance from the terminal. It is 1km at least, and could be up to 2.25km. The longer distance is because I note recent...

    New government declaration/Queen's speech

    As j0hn0 has commented on, postponing HS2 isn't necessarily that worthwhile. The bulk of the spending will be in construction and so you could give the go ahead today and not be spending the billions involved for years, when of course the economy should be in a better position. It is currently...

    New Govt - a way back for National Express?

    There is absolutely the possibility that National Express might be given the opportunity to return to UK rail sooner than might have been the case had Labour remained in goverment. See http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/feb/07/national-express-rail-conservatives dating from February. Of...
