If and when the Leicester capacity works take place, am I right that a flyover will be be erected from South Wigston carrying freight and XC services over the MML thus reducing conflict?
Also I assume the tunnel which is disused at Knighton is wide enough for double track to travel through it?
So four track from Syston to Knighton Jn, but EMR and XC services will essentially be separated from one another. Of course there will need to be additional platforms built at Leicester.
I doubt any electrification will take place before the major remodel around Leicester takes place.
