Has that been stated? I thought work to redouble the Slow/Corby lines between Sharnbrook and Corby was already underway as a separate project. They're certainly on with something very substantial most nights south of Corby.
Maybe that's work to rebuild bridges for clearance purposes? Each time I travel along the MML (roughly three to four times a month) more progress appears to have been made.
Hopefully it won't be too long now before we see further work taking place north of Kettering.

Positive its not underway that's for sure, probably just relaying in preparation for electrication.
With regards to MK, looks like they'll wire through on the curve, then in a decades time rip it all up at great cost to rebuild the station on a straight, faster alignement.
Only in the bargin basement UK!

A decade is a fair amount of time though.
I have often thought that it would be cheaper to order to trains with the ability to tilt to run on the MML. That way you could extend 125 mph running to pretty much the whole route. Market Harborough is not the only location on the MML with a sharp curve!
