Mark Saunders Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 5 hours ago, melmerby said: Real Time Trains isn't on the ball yet. It shows 4E20 (and the others) today as going via Werrington Jn. but did not have a timing report from there (not surprising really!) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H01648/2021-11-29/detailed Railcam UK also haven't updated their diagram for all the signal berth numbers. The schedule still has a timing point in it but the route taken avoids it hence the ‘no report’. Trains with a timing point at York Yard South jct and go via the Station rather than the Slow lines show the same! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tomlinson Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 There now is a passing point of "Glinton Jn." on Realtime Trains, which I don't remember being there before. John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to RTT 4E21 Felixstowe - Tinsley is due through Werrington Jn. around 15:00 (it's currently 20mins from Ely, running on time), if it follows yesterday's route, it should use the diveunder instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I haven't been to Werrington since 2017, but I'm getting the impression that the best views to catch all services are from Cock Lane footbridge. Is this true? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It occurs to me that if GBRf want to make a loco change then trains would still stick to the old alignment to avoid crossing the ECML twice. However a crew change at Peterborough could perhaps be done with a brief halt by the station using the new alignment? John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I've seen crew changes done on platforms 6 and 7 so I see no reason why that shouldn't continue. And it is possible to make crew changes on the freight loop to the west of the station. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Just a few additions to todays photos from Crun. The wide way has been cleared of rubbish and is being checked over. The entrance the the dive under access from Hurn Road has gained some Armco and the north side bank of Brook Drain has been given a haircut. The topsoil in the centre of the field is being transported to the old car park, from where topsoil was taken to cover the old haul road last week, which is behind it. Some of the topsoil was also being taken to cover the old haul road that runs alonside the new Hurn Road. A larger expandable version of this image can be downloaded from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vNLWcEeCJUfS2vKdl3sFt0_W67A0ckU-/view?usp=sharing Concrete barriers were being removed from the top of the railway embankment adjacent to the Hurn Road entrance. The gap were the concrete barriers are being removed so that the green fencing can be completed. It is a bit odd that the railway is not secured while trains are now running on the new line. A larger downloadable image can be had from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18mxjzNGtjNZdpjR0f_oZhnzyFYBgMSjL/view?usp=sharing .....and finally, our friendly security chap was doing a spot of gardening around his office. At least he has not been left out in the open with just a chair like his colleague was at Stirling Way.
