Crun

Sorry once again. I will investigate further and try and post an openable version.

An underground film: Apologies. I will investigate it further and post if successful.

From another forum: "It seems like it's going to have an Line of Route of LN145 (MGC ELR?), and it says September-21. Not sure if that's September 21st 2020 or September 2021. The junction at the Peterborough side will be called Marholm Jn at 126.790. Stanox 45126, Tiploc MRHLMJN, Nalco 613356. The Lincoln side will be called Glinton Jn at 129.535. Stanox 45127, Tiploc GLNTNJN, Nalco 613353"

Werrington Grade Separation site: a film by Trackside ECML of a visit to check on the works on a very windy afternoon, 25th August 2020. A musical soundtrack only due to high wind noise.

I should have realised after checking the forecast. Better safe than sorry.

Donington Road posted: "Quick visit to Lincoln Road this morning before the rain set in for the day. The five extra bridge spans due for fitting in place on Friday have still not arrived. The two beams on site have been fitted out with scaffolding, presumeably to provide for a walkway once inplace. Concrete was being poured around the plies on the north side of the new bridge and drainage work had just started on the ramp up to Glinton Junction" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have tomorrow off. After a very early weekly food shop I will make a few visits to the area near to the Lincoln Road bridge to see the installation of the bridge sections. Thanks for heads up Mick.

This is an update from Network Rail and contains a fly through video of how the dive under will look and operate: https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-routes/east-coast/east-coast-upgrade/werrington-grade-separation/?fbclid=IwAR1puiFC70lgbp3UsFXYL2ccBg29OZVM4EYw4x-AzFG2rcIdSndaqj_lsoM

I have a question from another forum: "Presumably the new crossover will give additional flexibility in the event of a track issue?"

A 66 on the GNGE with rake of trucks and men this morning. Crane now visible.

From another forum: "The 9-Day Blockade has now been confirmed as running from the 16th to the 24th of January 2021 (inclusive). Tunnel boring works are also finished - the tunnels are now being fitted out before the big push."

Thanks for the heads up Mick. I will go out on the bike again tomorrow.

Very curious Mick. It looked like the work wasn't finished last weekend.

A few photo's from Saturday 15th August:

No sign of any work being done so far today on the GNGE line. A couple of diggers excavating soil from the Lincoln Road bridge. Nothing seen on the GNGE at 10:15 this morning or 13:45 this afternoon.

Photo's from Serjeant Way and the Fox Covert Road bridge:

Photo's from around the Glinton Road bridge and the temporary bridge:

14th August 2020: photographs from around Cock Lane bridge:

I received this today: "A snippet of information for @Crun - the redundant headspan masts (for structure E127/14) north of the new OLE portal boom (E127/12A) near Cock Lane FB have now been removed. The same can also be said for the redundant headspan masts E128/02, E128/06 & E128/08; only the Up side mast for E128/04 remains as it still anchors the wire run using the crossover from the Down fast to the Down Spalding."
