I found this article today. There are lots of upgrades and electrification is mentioned. https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/contractors/laing-orourke/contractor-alliance-set-for-650m-east-west-rail-direct-award-14-10-2026/

Here are the details for the bridge demolition at Church Fenton starting this weekend: The main deck will be removed 10-11/10/2026 and the brick arch will be demolished the following weekend. The new bridge will be installed 24/10/26- 01/11/2026. I wonder if they will finally demolish the...

On track with Tim is now updated showing all last weekends work and a summary of the 16 day blockade. The old part of the A62 bridge is still there. The new staircases and footbridge at Deighton have been installed.

Thanks for the clarification. I live nowhere near the TRU area but I find the upgrade extremely interesting.

Can you clarify if the new footbridges at Deighton are now installed, you said "This weekend", do you mean last weekend?

It has all gone very quiet from Tim and Sarah, which I find very surprising. Going back to last weekend, does anybody know, was the rest of the A62 road bridge demolished and also was the new footbridges at Deighton Station installed?

I travelled between Leeds and York yesterday and I was very surprised to see how much electrification work has been completed. Here are the details, starting at just north of the Neville Hill depot, electrification bases are installed up to about half a mile further north, then the masts and...

So did I. I think we have all had enough of this, I am going to cut and run. There will be one last post from me which be the answer from C2C which I expect will be a waste of time. 1784788083 Perhaps he resigned to get a post in Andy Burnham's new government.

If a fuse blows in your house and you replace it, then you are carrying out maintenance of your property, i.e. to maintain it to a certain level. Maintenance is defined as maintaining what ever needs to be maintained to an acceptable level, the train was not maintained to this, i.e. dark...

Obviously the lights, what is involved in getting them working?, I have no idea, as I have already stated I am no electrician. I have found that nearly every reply has not mentioned that it is the train companies fault, instead it has been thrown back at me for bringing this up. In saying that...

If it is not poor maintenance, then how did it happen? There were other lights out, which was apart from the area that was in darkness, this suggests to me that this coach has been running with reduced lighting for some time. I really believe that this thread has run it's course and as I have...
