Hi all,
I have a question about the track north of Newport, around Maindee Junct on the Marches line.
I have noted over the past year or so that there has been quite a lot of track lifting / replacement here. I had assumed that this was just track reallignment work due to the Newport resignalling project. However, there were up and down slows / reliefs / long headshunts either side of the running lines. My best guess is about 1/4 - 1/2 a mile long. These are now / have recently been lifted, and it looks as if there is no replacement being made.
Can anyone give a bit of insight into this, if it is lifting or relaying?
All the best,
Andy
