Although currently tagged as under construction. Have I tagged the right sections please? I'm not sure where those structures are.

It's completed up to Wigston South Jn but further work has been paused at the moment. https://gbrailwaydata.co.uk/Public/ElectrificationMap

It's W12 but here's just a route next to it for a Stanton line that's W6.

Yeah, that's my suspicion too.

Awesome, thanks all. I shall leave it marked as "Under Construction" on the maps.

Some regions and lines can take a while to do assessments. I wouldn't be surprised if the route is W10 where electrified, but not done the gauge assessments or paperwork. There's been a lot of effort on the new 'A' gauges - although North Western & Central have added some nice W10 near...

Between Wigston South Jn to Kettering it's W6A within NESA and not on any Permanent Gauge Certs yet either. Between Bedford and Corby has a W10 and W12 Gauge Cert (but not W9).

Is this line electrified now? It shows as AC in the Sectional Appendix.

It's worse as it's actually W7 :o

My map has the updated interim layout. https://gbrailwaydata.co.uk/Public/ElectrificationMap

I think you're right and I also don't see that there would be much on the Hull port side, but there is the planned Logistics Hub at Gascoigne Wood that's going to be built, so it would open up more container opportunities for them. I am, admittedly, a believer of "build it and they will come"...

I agree. I've changed the title to something more appropriate. I'm hoping they add in additional routes such as the Calder route (via Todmorden/Rochdale) to give an option to divert freight around the main corridor avoiding Huddersfield.

Previously, I posted about Loading Gauge upgrades associated with the Transpennine Route Upgrade (here), which came via an FOI request. Within the FOI they mentioned a separate W12 upgrade project. The response from that FOI indicated the results below, but please take these with a pinch of...

Happy 20th!

Please see attached an FOI response about W12 clearance as part of the TRU and another W12 project still in the design phase. Not sure if this warrants its own thread.

Yeah, a route can be W10 and W12 cleared but not W9. I always thought W9 was within W12 too but I was wrong.

I'm taking that a huge compliment having someone reference my own map to me, thanks! :D I agree about the Felixstowe, Southampon and London Gateway but I'll crunch and visualise some freight data to confirm. Would it make sense to gauge clear a bit more to divert trains away from the ECML...

I submitted a FOI request about Northallerton. See attached the document relating to Church Fenton to Newcastle from 2020. They are waiting until June 2025 (government spending review) to see what they can do. I ended up writing my own 40-page document with reasoning, site proposals, benefits...

If it's just the portals that are listed, would that make track lowering an option? Looks like a tight squeeze!
