Don't get to excited, I doubt it'll be ready anytime this year. Besides its 90 from Whittington to Shrewsbury.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to planning :oops:

The little longitudinal bridge is being removed at the back of the Market, not sure about the Newtown end but judging by the amount of bagged ballast delivered i reckon it's being filled in also.

Don't think you've missed anything but let's be honest it certainly isn't for sighting as the existing ones can be spotted a good way in advance! It has to be for braking distances.

200 & 201 repeater signals have had new location bases approx 600yds further back from where they are now. They are just awaiting new signal posts and heads.

This Gobowen - Shrewsbury fiasco has been going on since it started, the whole project has been passed around from pillar to post with no real leadership or managment. Every other week/month IP unearthed another obstacle that had not been budgeted or accounted for, the project was repeatedly...

Maybe i should change my name then....

Not a chance! Wont make much difference anyway.

Will find out the exact detail next week! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- :wink::wink:

Talk of a turnback layout being installed at Wrexham General to enable trains to run off the single section straight onto platform 3. Wonder if its to enable a shuttle service to Liverpool via Chester and Halton Curve?

The linespeed is increasing but most thought it was a simple case of re-aligning and re-canting a few curves, moving the AHB strike in treadles out and slapping 90 boards outside Gobowen & Shrewsbury stations. Chances are that major infrastructure works along the section will not get the funding...

Yes, that awful jointed section at the back of the houses at Johnstown. Out of interest, just before the contractors started the renewal they noticed some of the packs of steel sleepers had been overgrown by Japanese Knotweed, they had to scrounge packs from elsewhere to finish the job! --- old...

Its a 30/60 on the up at Rhosymedre. Poor track condition due to a bodged contractor track renewal job with a formation and drainage failure which coincidentally is getting an OTM treatment tonight! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I reckon thats a pretty good assumption! ??????

Dont hold your breath, it should have been completed last year. The whole project has been mismanaged and passed around by IP and is nothing short of a shambles, the works required have been seriously underestimated!!! Hopefully things have started to look up but its still a way off before we...

Oh you mean an anorak? Oops i forgot about the parker jacket wearing, flask hugging fraternity! :wink:

Exactly, who would sit in a boring waiting room when you can sip on a pint next door! :D

It seems some level crossing education is required in Wem before anything else!!

That used to be the case but apparently its no longer a requirment. I'm sure a signaller on here can back me up on this. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I dont like farmers, come to think of it i bloody cant stand em!!!

He's the Route Enhancments Manager. If anyone's got questions regarding capacity he should know the answers! BTW Bob the works on the re-double are nowhere near as farcical as the A483 Posthouse Roundabout Works. Now thats a complete balls-up!!! :D

What LC? Do u mean Gobowen?
