I'd heard that the main announcement include plan for 'upgrading the ECML', so when I looked at the more detailed plans, I was slightly disappointed to see that they didn't include the Newark flyover or the Welwyn viaduct improvements.
And whilst we're on the East Coast, if the Valley lines can get electrified as part of a boost to an economically deprived region, then why isn't the North East (an equally deprived region if you ask me) not getting any real improvements?
Surely reopening the Newcastle to Ashington line isn't much to ask in terms of developing a former coalfield area.
