Nottingham - St Pancras linespeed improvements

[brianthegiant]

I believe there are linespeed improvements planned for the midland mainline. Does anyone know if are there any increases planned for Nottingham - Trent Junction, or is it mostly south of the junction ( I know Market Harborough is a key target).

I'm mostly curious if there are likely to be any foot crossings replaced with footbridges in the Attenborough area in the forseeable future.

cheers, Brian

The proposals are listed in a table on pages 159/160 of the latest CP4 enhancement milestones, but AFAICT there is nothing between Trent Jn and Nottingham itself. There is mention of closing footpath crossings, but no specifics given.

The improvements do cover the whole line of route through to Sheffield though, there's no obvious north/south bias...
