Farnworth Tunnel Overrun.

[lincolnshire]

It looks like it will be end of December 2015 before the job will be completed now, its running behind schedule for its completion date as planned.

Another grand Network Rail plan gone wrong again, I bet they wished that they had never started this electrification thing.

A very good one, part of operation for the job but not actually doing the work.

Without you telling us what has gone wrong and whether it was down to bad planning or issues that have arisen and were unforeseen during the preparation then how are we possibly meant to comment?

Well it's included in the NR press statement that appeared in the existing thread where this is already being discussed:

A complex tunnelling project to enable electric trains to run between Bolton and Manchester has been delayed, possibly until December

The condition of the tunnel was such that something needed to be done irrespective of electrification.

Thanks for the info - so not really 'another grand NR plan gone wrong' then.
