The documentation sent to TOCs last October gave a detailed schedule of blockades, to the minute. It also explained where and what work was to be done during those times. It's very detailed.
The 9 day block is for connecting everything up and testing. All the little details are in there, from adding the copers on Platform 2 at Dore to the specific track connections. I've no doubt that between now and then there may need to be some alterations to take account of progress. Weather can ruin the best laid plans
Minimising blockades has been very much a consideration in the detailed planning. If the TOCs are concerned you can bet the FOCs are very concerned about that. Local residents want it doing quickly too.
Another issue is that future blockades for North Pennine works demand that this work is completed asap to ensure there will be more options for diversions.
It's impossible to satisfy all the people all of the time.
