Hello, Do routes that are currently have electrification being built still bring W10 improvements? Context The reason I ask is that I saw a YouTube video about Gascoigne Wood Interchange having access to key ports and other areas, but there's barely any W10 for those high-cube containers...

I wonder if there's just enough room to build a bridge over the line, maybe with a mix of sinking the line a bit.

That makes sense, thank you for the insight.

The station would be in addition to the existing station, and could be built on the Middlesborough line with an extra stop for existing services. Apologies, elderly was the wrong word. Northallerton has a rubbish bus service 10:00 to 13:30. Clearly no one has to be at work for 9am according to...

Definitely agree that there needs to be more bus services. Having the first service at 10am when you typically start work at 9am is terrible, especially if you need to get a 7am train service. Then having the last service 13:30-14:00 when people typically finish at 17:00. It's a town for the...

I remember reading that but they've now gone and built a bunch of houses on the proposed area. They may also have to move items they've since built at the station such as a brand new lift. They also have planning that has been approved that builds warehouses on the other side of Darlington Road...

Hi all, what would peoples thoughts be about building a new station on the north side of Northallerton, whilst building a new platform 3 & 4 next the existing station car park? They have built possibly nearly 1000 homes in the area in the last few years (more incoming), there's no bus services...

The new Northallerton North near the new bridge on North Moor road could accept Yarm services as well as a new platform 3 and 4 on the bypass line, which would be situated next to the main station car park (down line). This would allow residents of Brompton and the many new homes to easily get...

The level crossings on the route are an absolute pain. They can do down three times in a very short space of time. There's going to be even more new houses on the north side. Maybe it's worth adding a Northallerton North station.

How much do you reckon it would cost?

I was wondering what impact level crossings have on line speeds. If you had the funding, which lines would you choose to close all the level crossings where you think would have a greatest impact? Also, what techniques would you use? Bridges, road diversions, wildlife crossings, cuttings (if...

That's cool information but also incredible scary. Thank you for teaching me something new and insightful!

Ah ok, would moving the station in a similar fashion to how I crudely drew still be better? Even if you exclude the across throat movements?

As long as the portals are above ground and the tunnel is water tight, it may be ok. Alternatively, assuming you can get land rights, you could build a new track from somewhere north of Soham, and have it connect to the curve, with some flyovers.

Ardwick to have trains not cross every line to get towards Trafford Park / Oxford Road. Given unlimited funds, I'd probably move Piccadilly station to the opposite side on the south and make it a through station. Freight could then go around the new station via what is currently platform 13/14...

Very insightful, thank you!

The only thing I think you can do with Newark Flat Crossing is to put the east-west route (NOB1) onto a viaduct/embankment with the curve junction (NSE) starting further east to ease the gradient. You may also have to change the A46 Newark Bypass so that it would go under the new viaduct instead...

Yes, Ardwick Jn sorry! 1744727760 What would people think about Dore West Jn for trains coming from the west and going south?

True! I remember reading something that they want to four track the station and build another grade separated junction north of the town going towards Middlesbrough. I suspect it won't happen and if they wanted to four track the station, they may have to move that new lift they've put in. They...

Northallerton already does have a 2nd route but annoyingly has 3 level crossings. Shame they can't put that track in a cutting so remove those crossings.
