Donington Road Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I don't put my Trains Around Werrington Junction videos on here as they are a bit off topic to the subject under discussion. But on the latest one I have done there are a couple of clips mid way through the video of freight using the new lines at Glinton Junction to Lincoln Road on Tuesday if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQB4DHBxbQw Edited November 30, 2021 by Donington Road 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted December 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2021 At least you'll be getting a premier pacific through Peterborough. Joking aside can I say how good it is to see the diveunder in operation after all the work. Also to give a great big thanks to all of you who have kept this thread updated so that readers can follow the progress of this project. I did see some of the early works in 2019 but haven't been able to get over since. Following the work on hear has been very interesting. Thanks again.

Titan Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I was trying to see how crowded the cabs of the locos using it were, or does simulator based route learning cover it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that change? Also, some of the container trains are booked for a long layover in the up side yards at Peterborough, inaccessible via the diverunder. e.g. this Tinsley-Felixstowe: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H00650/2021-11-30/detailed or this Masboro-Felixstowe: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H12558/2021-12-01/detailed#allox_id=0 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that they can access the dive under by the New England Junctions but there is no point crossing the ECML to do so. If you are southbound from Spalding you go straight into the yards without a conflict using the bi-directional up slow but would need to cross the ECML via the junction (Spital?) just north of the station to access the line to Ely. If going northbound the reverse would apply Edited December 1, 2021 by melmerby 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - as you say, no point in going diveunder to W side, cross to E side, lay over, cross to W side again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crun Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I have just returned from an out and back bike ride to the west of Peterborough. I used the Cock Lane bridge at 11:15 and then at 15:15. Nothing was seen to use the dive-under during either visit. I did meet Andrew Winch again and we had a chat about the best times to be there. I will go back there tomorrow at just after 13:00 and try my luck again. Edited December 1, 2021 by Crun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted December 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2021 Judging by the signal diagrams website the dive under closed briefly around 17:00 but is open again. Certainly seen some traffic through there today. 4E20 certainly used it. 4E43 is on the down dive under line now. As i write this signal 490 on the up dive under line has just gone to 'out of use', it looks as if they might be having some teething issues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted December 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2021 Signalmaps.co.uk - not totally reliable but seems to give a good indication. Guess I might have to subscribe to the Railcam site ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium iands Posted December 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thanks @melmerby and @Richard E. I do look at Open Train Times and Traksy now and again, but Signalmaps.co.uk is a new one on me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
