Finding info on blocks and possessions

[malc-c]

Is there a website that lists all the blocks and possessions scheduled or happening in a particular area, and what work is planned ?

 

[Bigfoot]

No. That information is only available to staff.

It's issued as a paper or electronic document called a weekly operating notice to any staff that need to see it. We get a custom one that covers our depot's routes and that is several hundred pages long, I dread to think how big a national one would be.

Ok, just thought that there may be something out there that gave the date of possessions even if it didn't detail the exact works

You can download the Engineering Access Statement from the Network Rail website. It is in the information for operators section. The files are a bit ambiguous but the ones you want are in the EAS folders. The ones starting with 70 are the disruptive ones.

Nope, see above.

Wow...given that length of document for just your depot it makes you realise how much work is being done nationally. For those like me who don't work on the railway,we get the impression that there are just a few major projects happening.

Thanks, I'll take a look

Don't the TOCs list planned engineering work on their websites?

That is published way in advance, no guarantee that things won't be changed or amended. The won is much more likely although not infallible to be accurate.

Depending on what exactly you are after, this might help: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/currentAndFuture.aspx

Assuming in your response 'That' is the EAS (engineering access statement) then yes, you are correct.

Valid up until the CPPP at 26 weeks out. Operators bid at 18 weeks for short term alterations so we are in trouble if the WON is the best we have got.

WON comes out, then the supplement on a Thursday, then another supplement on a Friday, then there are the last minute ones to 'assist' the FOC/TOC as they were caught out
