    Hunts cross west junction - hunts cross "de"electrification

    I know the 25kv didn't quite get to hunts cross but, however does anyone know when this section was "de"electrified.

    Hey folks, the last few times I've been in Shrewsbury the freight road between platforms 3 and 4 has been out of use with stop boards at either end. Does anyone know what is going on with this?

    Eurofreight greater Manchester terminal

    I've seen this on my quail and the sectional appendix and from google maps there was an arrival and departure road but apparently no other infractuure. My digging indicates this was as part of the agecroft colliery redevelopment. My question is did this site ever open and does anyone have any...

    Swinton (Manchester) station work

    Currently there's a temporary platform on the down line on the original previously neglected part of the platform. The part under the awning is fenced off. Does anyone know what's being done?
