RMweb Gold TravisM Posted June 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2021 Is there a planned completion date as like to be on one of the first Peterborough - Lincoln trains to use it. As these services presently use platforms 1A and 2 at Peterborough, am I correct in assuming that they will be moved to 6 or 7? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie I raised that question some time ago and the answer was no, it is staying (socially!) distanced from the diveunder. It would need the OHE to be moved again and AFAIK they aren't moving it. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not saying an occasional passenger train won't use it but it is designed to take the Felixstowe et al freight services, that would normally need to cross the main lines in both directions Edited June 21, 2021 by melmerby 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall have to cross the ECML via the Marholm Road bridge on my return journeys from Bretton and beyond... Higher side pieces to the end of the first ramp down and the end of steps next to the Down Stamford line has been mentioned a few times. What other modifications that will take six weeks remains a mystery. Caging in the over bridge with mesh may be a possibilty, but I hope that doesn't happen. As to your journey to Bretton, just think about the extra mileage doing your health a lot of good. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Visit to Lincoln Road this evening. The site looking very bare. There are now floodlights on the Down Line side from Glinton Junction through to the dive under. Work is going on overnight preparing the Up Line. The centre line of the Up and Down lines has been marked on the ballast with orange paint. 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Welding the lengths of rails together on the Up Line near to Lincoln Road bridge. Looking towards Glinton Junction. Note the use of tracked dumpers being used, wheeled ones would rut the ballast too much. 9 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
