Small Electrification Schemes for CP6

[absolutelymilk]

Thanks for the info!

I make it 38 bridges, but the A55 is high enough to not need raising (not sure about the other bridges). Many of these are footbridges though and wouldn't necessarily need rebuilding, merely replacement with a (relatively cheap) footbridge.

Relatively cheap?! Lots are coming in around a million quid a go now.

I imagine that's still cheaper than rebuilding an old stone bridge though?

What's happening with the electricification of the 'Chase line' from Rugeley?

Thank you very much, not my brightest moment there, never realized that was possible!

None of those will happen in CP6, Cov Leamington dualling is too expensive and the proposal is only south of Kenilworth initially. Crewe Chester is unlikely before we resignal it and that keeps getting deffered. Not sure what Nuneaton Coventry would achieve either.

When is Crewe- Chester signalling now deferred until? Is it just Steele Works and Beeston Castle to go, or will some IB's be added in between the two?

York to Leeds (Colton Junction to Neville Hill I think it is) and perhaps the Hambleton Curve would seem to be a decent infill scheme (pending full completion of the trans-pennine wiring, whenever that maybe - my crystal ball cannot see that far ahead!).

The transpennine upgrade project already includes wiring York to Leeds. Due to finish around 2022, complete plan incorporating whatever HS3/NPR turns out to be is due this autumn.
