The original plan was that WMR would be separate, to minimise the transition should TfWM follow the leads of TfL & Merseytravel (and now, it seems, TfGM) in taking over direct control of its network (IIRC).

Worth noting that this consultation only covers Moor Street to Bordesley (inc. the East & West Chords); work at Snow Hill, at King's Norton and at Barnt Green (plus between King's Norton & Barnt Green) are subject to separate consultations. My guess is that these separate consultations feed the...

I believe "KAGA" is the four-letter code for a specific site, as OP did refer to using a Major Feeding Diagram for details.

A lot of the earlier anti-HS2 activism was decrying the environmental effects of building a new railway through the "green and pleasant land", which was basically NIMBYism disguised as tree-hugging. That's why we got Chipping Warden Tunnel, the Bat Tunnel (wherever it is), and Bromford Tunnel...

I'd argue that the top and bottom nosings on the stairs need a colour change - bright yellow, perhaps? We certainly had to add those on all the steps on footbridges and the link on the Northumberland Line job.

East of Leeds, meanwhile, work to add a new bridge pier to OB NOC/29 (Common Lane) is underway...

Based on the Tilbury Loop Line works, I'd imagine that UKMS-R1 gets used again up here. This re-used the F&F Cantilevers used on the GEML two-track areas; conventional style, with a horizontal top tube from the mast, an inclined strut tube from the mast, a horizontal registration tube from the...

And doubtless the same phrase will be trotted out once the 701s go!

Precisely. The twin track cantilever there is Series 2, although, if hairs are being split (as is so common on this forum), the design of the mast and boom itself goes back as far as the Mk3 era (definitely GN Suburban, possibly Weaver-Glasgow). The cantilevers hanging from the boom, however...

Don't think we'll know for a good while, as that working seems to have been a one-off for now until full certification for revenue service is granted.

It's well worth remembering that Series 1 structures have been used between Man Vic & Stalybridge tunnel already, and that they are currently going in between Huddersfield & Leeds, so Garforth (and indeed East Garforth, Micklefield, and Cross Gates) are no different to anywbere else on the...

All lines? Must be something OLE related then. Edit - trackwork, as per post 10,530 above mine!

Passed through the Leeds area on an XC service today, and noticed that masonry bolts have appeared in a few new places in Marsh Lane Cutting. The patterns seem to be consistent with portal mounting brackets either side of it, so it's a reasonable assumption that OLE is likely to be...

Something along these lines? (Pun intended!)

ISTR that Hutton/Oxenholme did eventually get its ATF operation, while Harker never did.

I think some have remained near Trent Jn, but have now been weathered beyond the point of legibility.

Not as far as I believe, no. I don't believe it's on the main Huddersfield-Leeds corridor, so it probably won't. Copmanthorpe's been through the mill a bit IIRC; the original plan to replace the crossing with a stepped footbridge met with a few complaints about accessibility. The first attached...

If the works were at Cardiff Central, that would be Network Rail, not TfW/Amey Infrastructure.

Afternoon all, Passing northwards along the MML, I've noticed a large amount of civils activity at Wellingborough Up Yard. It looks as if a lot of drainage works, possibly for fuel(?) are in progress at the moment; lots of preformed corrugated manholes/inspection chambers stored to one side...

Well, the only way we'll know for sure is when another unit from a different TOC gets the new livery!
