I'm new to this forum so hello everyone. I have recently retired from Network Rail after 43 years service on the S & T Dept. at Gloucester, having worked under British Railways, British Rail, British Rail Infrastructure Services, GTRM, Carillion and Network Rail during that period - full circle and costing millions!
Does anyone know the current state of the re-signalling on the Severn Tunnel Jcn - Gloucester line? I'm just wondering if the current boundary with Gloucester Panel will still apply - Gatcombe on the Up and Awre Crossing on the Down. I had heard rumours that perhaps Cardiff would control up to the Grange Court area but this has not been seen in print as a definite.
With Saltley SC eventually taking down as far as Eckington, Gloucester Panel area will be shrinking, ahead of it's closure rumoured to be circa 2017.
Any information will be appreciated. In return, if I can answer any questions regarding the workings of Gloucester Panel, I will be pleased to do so.
