2025 New Track Coverage

[Sunil_P]

4th October:

Tower Hill P2 from/to the east (Circle line reversals due to engineering). P2 use to be a west-facing bay (and still used as such throughout normal service), but east-facing crossovers were installed a few years ago.

Also available today (5th) if you need it.

12th October

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway
Wirksworth - Duffield

 

[Sunil_P]

19th October:

Hare Park Jn to Crofton West Jn both ways (normal Grand Central services - but southbound is only available Sundays!)
Altofts Jn to Methley Jn northbound (southbound done way back in 2017!)

22nd October:

Shenfield P3 to Mountnessing Jn via up "main" track

Around lunchtime, on my way back from Witham to check out Beaulieu Park (which seems ready to roll this Sunday), I changed trains at Shenfield, and upon checking RTT for arrivals/departures I found, to my surprise, a Southend Vic train calling at Platform 3 at 14:16, and therefore crossing the main line and going via the "up" double-track route towards Billericay and beyond, instead of the usual Southend Vic route via P4 and the reversible down loop. So I rushed downstairs and grabbed a quick return ticket to Wickford (which I though would be worth checking out - however, the latter is still missing its new station building!).

Anyway, it seems the 14:16 ran from P3 yesterday (20th October) as well. I thin the codes on RTT are "DM DSD".

Sorry by "yesterday", I meant 21st!

24th November
Slipped under the radar a bit over the years!

Ravensbourne to Shortlands surface route (both ways), fast trains Victoria to/from Bromley South via Nunhead
("normal" route (ie. for stoppers) is via the dive-under).

 

[Cambus731]

Last month I finally did the Bluebell Railway extension to East Grinstead

Since the instigator of the thread has set the precedent for not confining entries to these shores, here goes:

There's always been plenty of foreign track noted in this thread over several years - similarly, foreign sightings and haulages are frequently recorded in their relevant threads as well.
