Donington Road Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 New signals being installed at Hurn Road. On the Down Line in the recess next to the deflection wall at the A15 bridge. Signal P498 nearer to the entrance of the dive under on the Up Line. 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work these days? e.g. does it have it's own block? And does that mean it only has Yellow & Green aspects? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thus only one up train will be on the diveunder at a time. If it showed a red you could probably let in a second train though I suspect most of the liners that will go that way won’t clear the overlap. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably so the driver knows he can keep the gas on to clear the incline more easily, knowing he wont have to stop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It looks like it will be capable of showing yellow, double yellow or Green. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, if it is showing yellow and P490 at Cock Lane is showing red then he will come to a stop half way UP the incline. Maybe they need a spur at Glinton Junction to stable a banker just in case there is difficulty restarting on the incline. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Send the up pass via the dive under and the freights on the flat. Don't need bankers then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crun Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know what is happening to the dive-under this weekend? Is there a particular bridge that will have interesting views? I plan to cycle around the Werrington Junction area with my camera. Edited July 23, 2021 by Crun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The new dive under Up Line signal at Cock Lane. Note the hollow sleeper opposite on the Down Line for cables to pass through. The dive under Down Line signal at Cock lane. The new concrete base for the spillway from Marholm Brook into Brook Drain. These next three photos have been extracted from video. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Richard E Posted July 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2021 A handful from me taken yesterday. At Cock Lane work is ongoing on the spillway. Top soil is now in place almost all the way down to the spillway. And at Lincoln Road the gate is in place. And another post is due to go in by the look of things. On the A15 there are now solid plate sides fitted to the roadway where it crosses the rail line. There is still some ballasting to do here as well as alignment and tamping. I believe this may well be done this weekend according to the timetable that Donington Road posted about 5 or 6 pages back. Work seems to still be going on around the portal to the east of the ECML. And I spotted the hollow sleeper for cabling as well. Note the concrete sleeper that has been removed to make way for the hollow one. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 More video grabs of work at Lincoln Road. The spoil is gradually being removed. That is one mean excavator, a couple of bucket loads and the lorry is on its way. Auxillary equipment arriving at Lincoln Road for the weekends work. Looks like rail brushes. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 As Crun said not much to see, then Richard showed up without his camera which really confirmed the story. Not to be beaten, a couple of photos from Lincoln Road. The rail sweeper presumably parked up waiting for overnight work or next weekend. The spoil gradually diminishing. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
