Rail Engineer article here which goes over a lot already covered here but useful for those looking at a glance: https://www.railengineer.uk/2019/01/28/east-west-rail-publishes-alternative-routes-for-bedford-to-cambridge/

Took some photos this morning. Feels much more enclosed compared to the same area during the temporary opening last year.

SWR gateline in the peak subway towards P20-P24 looked to be open today as I came through. Didn't have time to look further. Anyone confirm this and also if the escalators now in operation again?

Anyone travelling from Marylebone on the Main Line this afternoon/evening likely to encounter serious delays. Broken rail on the Down line at Sudbury Hill Harrow: https://twitter.com/NetworkRailCML/status/1081173917266575372 Some Birmingham bound trains being sent via the LUL line to...

The original December 2018 changes that were cancelled will not be coming in May 2019. Likely only in 2020. As mentioned elsewhere, the electricity supply infrastructure is being improved and this is taking longer than originally anticipated but all the stakeholders are now engaged with each...

Apparently 23-24 to come into use when the May 2019 timetable comes in.

The view from upstairs this morning:

What is scheduled to be opened up to public next week? Platforms 21-22, lift to Underground ticket hall?

For the avoidance of doubt and those who may not know the reference of CP above - this closure is for passenger services. Freight into Park Royal is unaffected and the future use of Wycombe Siding for HS2 construction traffic remains available.

Network Rail will sever the track near to the junction with the Great Western main line to make way for a conveyor belt that HS2 will be utilising to remove spoil material from the Old Oak Common station site. According to BLN, the section of line from Park Royal Junction east to the severed...

I thought the line was being severed at Old Oak Common West Junction with the aggregates trains into Park Royal Marcon still running.

They will run via West Ealing.

Yes, badly phrased by myself earlier. Chiltern looking to go into OOC but not through to Paddington. Acton-Northolt line will have to be re-doubletracked which shouldn't be too much bother.

There are no plans in place to restore the line once the conveyor belt has gone however this may change as the Phase 1a element of the HS2 project develops over the next 8 years.

Network Rail now saying the Acton-Northolt line will close on New Year's Eve this year and severed just west of Old Oak Common West Junction. This will be to allow installation of a conveyor belt which will remove spoil from the HS2 Old Oak Common station site.

The location of the incident is here:

Thanks, makes sense. Will the Park Royal Marcon sidings remain in use?

The line between Greenford West Junction and Old Oak Common is due to be closed at the end of this year thanks to HS2 works.

Perhaps not according to this from the Evening Standard yesterday: https://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-focus-why-your-boxfresh-train-is-being-replaced-by-a-brand-new-model-a3766501.html
