Looking at what’s there I’m guessing it’s to install tactile paving on the platform edges.

The whole section of railway from Hale to Northenden and also Northwich area is a big mess. The vegetation is horrendous, although they have recently cleared the trees to provide better sighting of the signal on the curve on the down at Skelton/Deansgate. I’m pretty sure in modern standards...

Nothing comes up with this reference. Any chance of a link please?

It’s being investigate. The signalling will be designed for 20, but the final line speed has not been finalised from what I’ve read. Due to Crewe being on clay ground, the drainage is poor, which is why BH floods so easily. If they can install a better drainage system then the speed will be...

The tunnel under Crewe is HS2 Phase 2B. Phase 2A will see a pair of lines join just south of the current BH junction.

Makes more sense doh!

There’s a lot to do before 23rd July. There are no posts or gantries etc installed yet or even on site from what I can see from trundling past.

At this stage will see the closure of Basford Hall Junction, Sorting Sidings North and Salop Goods Junction. The independent lines are being bought up to passenger standards so when they do the station in 24/25 they can divert passengers via the yard (as they did in 1985 at the previous...

Morning, There doesn’t appear to be a thread for this so thought I’d start one. A lot of work starting to take place on site now. Location bases being installed at the minute. UTX (under track crossings for cables). Holes have been sunk for new gantries and marking of signal positions has...

Morning, There doesn’t appear to be a thread for this so thought I’d start one. A lot of work starting to take place on site now. Some of the new AWS magnets and TPWS grids have been installed. Location bases being installed at the minute. Does anyone know when this is been completed, can’t...

Can you choose to stand up and get 50% off the fare at the start?

EMR don’t sign Kidsgrove to Stockport but if there was some joined up thinking, they could run a fast service derby to picc or lime street calling Stoke Stockport Picc Lime Street with a route conductor?

Good afternoon, Does anyone know how far back freight loco allocations can be recovered please? I am a driver for GBRF and finally got round to updating my spreadsheet for what I have driven etc, but my diary contains some blanks where I have not recorded the loco number. The below is what I...

Correction. The photo in post 299 is taken looking towards kings cross. The points being the ones nearest the station on the next crossover down on the highlighted image. The picture in post 304 is the country end of the highlighted crossover. The KX end of those set of points doesn’t go in...

On the basis that unit is allocated to the 1444 Sheffield to Leeds today, i think it’s 110% fair to say it’s just a glitch. They definitely wouldn’t have taken the possession around a passenger train.....

It definitely does make a difference. Took 6B10 through last night for the first time and had greens all the way up to 154 signal which was 2Y, 1Y at 150 into the platform then that stepped up to a green and right away fast line without spring below 20. Happy days

66’s is three in multi.

It would be very nice if this is the case and, whatever the fault was, has been fixed! They have been doing a lot of signal head replacements around Crewe over Christmas so maybe it was resolved at the same time?

Few around the Peak District: -1 in Bradway tunnel toeards Dronfield. -1 in Bradway tunnel towards Dore -1 in Totley tunnel towards Dore -1 in Disley tunnel towards Hazel Grove

It looks as though a new signalled move is being installed to allow trains on the up fast and up slow to cross over at Tallington, and run along the down slow in the up direction and onto the up stamford and into the station, presumably to keep some form of service running whilst the blockade...
