Infrastructure upgrades and works

[YesToHS2]

Does anyone know if there is a handy list of upgrades and infrastructure projects that are either going ahead or confirmed.

I'm trying to create a future network map but need details on all the lasted works planned and under way. I'm lazy I know, but the network rail and dft websites aren't as straight forward as I'd like.

Reading station area itself is underway, but the whole project is staged and the flyover isn't due for a few years - July 2015.

When the station area was granted planning approval recently, they said applications for the flyover and associated road changes would be dealt with later...

I believe it was included in the ECML enhancements mentioned after the spending review.
It is now awaiting formal planning approval from the Government.

The SofS has issued a 'minded to approve' letter for the TWA Order, pending resolution of planning concerns about construction vehicles on local roads etc.

But that isn't the 'flyover' is it? That's a reinstatement...

Looking at 2013 for the flyover at a guess without checking the project dates.

2015 for completion having checked the dates in the CP4 plan, hence my earlier post...

That's only part of it, there's a 2016 completion for some of the job - does this make sense to you in terms of routes, saves you looking it up?

Whilst the Westbury grade seperation seems odd in the way its staggered it doesnt make a lot of difference as you will still see the really heavy freights going across the flat through the low end of the station once its finished. Going to be some interesting blockades in 2014/15 Id have thought
