RMweb Premium Richard E Posted May 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Glinton Junction (Joint line to dive under) has already been installed. It is plain line from there to the box. Marholm Junction (Stamford lines junction) is going in, we believe, in early June. It isn't possible to get any pictures of the Glinton Junction end of the box until the land bridge is removed.

Crun Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Monday 17th May. I have just ridden across the new Lincoln Road bridge by invitation. It will be open while they dismantle the temporary bridge. The entrance from the Werrington end and looking towards Glinton: A new bit of tarmac on the entrance to the bridges: Looking towards Werrington: I was told they would be putting a bit of fencing on top of the lower bridge walls: Some unusual bricks on this raised platform. Not sure why: Start of another fence? Edited May 18, 2021 by Crun 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look at the gate on the northern end of the bridge this lunch-time and post any relevant images. Thanks for the heads up re the 'pointy bricks' or tactile paving Mick.

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted May 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2021 Oddly I've been out as well and have a series of almost identical pictures so I'll just use the ones that are different. I'll kick off with saying that both the Bailey Bridge and the new bridge are in use. I don't think the barrier in use will deter very much. The lighting under the A15 is now relying solely on the permanent lights, all the temporary stuff has gone. A slightly different angle on the fencing at the top of the cutting. And they are nibbling away at the land bridge still. This was my take on the view to Glinton Junction taken from the new bridge through the gap between the verticals of the pallisade fencing. It is going to be a good spot for watching trains go by. Finally work is still going on to install the cable ducts under the new bridge. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 10 minutes ago, Richard E said: But it is replaced by more frequent through services to Lincoln. Usual misleading journalism form the local rag. [Peterborough Today quote] Spalding had previously been a victim of the Beeching cuts to the railway until the shuttle was introduced on June 7, 1971. This was initially just for one journey in the morning rush hour and another in the evening rush hour. Over time, the number of journeys increased with more stations being introduced. Yes, another poor journalist no checking the facts. Where are these stations to be found between Peterborough and Spalding? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
