£15m Network Rail freight upgrade between Doncaster and Lincolnshire kicks off

Due to be completed by January 2019. I wish they did Hull to Selby/Goole as well.

Good to see proper investment on the railway also this will leave the east coast open for extra passenger trains ,thanks for sharing.

£15m wont buy you much. Why would goole/sell by need an upgrade?

Because it's passed its Selby date?

To allow high-cube containers from the Hull port. I remember a few articles saying that over 50% of containers will be high-cube by 2020 and would be nice if Hull could get in on the action without specific wagons i.e. FAA.

Immingham is a much bigger port so if I had to choose between Hull or Immingham, then they chose right!

Haha!
