I know there has been passing mention of this in other threads ('£1.8 billion ETCS King's Cross to Peterborough' and 'Werrington grade separation approved').
A proposal to reinstate the fourth track between Woodwalton and Huntingdon (see NR link for details).
https://www.networkrail.co.uk/runni...nline-route-upgrade/huntingdon-to-woodwalton/
Perhaps some members can help with the history of why it was removed. Considering that this is the main north / south route it is a surprising decision.
I’m interested in:
As there will always (probably) be the Welwyn two track section as the limiting factor, would this Project make that much difference in number of journeys?
I see there has been a recent reference to postponing the Project - do we know how long for?
Thanks for any info.

I’m interested in:
- was the track taken out of service prior to being removed
- what date did this happen
- if only one track had to go why was the slow up chosen
