I just look on Real Time Trains for Freight via Marholm Junction:
Anything from Felixstowe to the NE is a good starting point.
Using the same search you can look at previous days e.g. yesterday:
You can see the times they actually passed Marholm Jn.
Click on service to see full times
Many thanks for the advice. I will have a look, scribble down the times and try and photograph something using the south portal from the Cock Lane bridge. Cheers!

Nearly all GBRF down trains via Spalding are scheduled to use the dive under, something like 7 did during Monday.
Hardly any up trains scheduled to use it.
Do you have any times please?

I have seen three use it today, all on the down line.
Apparently some drivers have raised concerns regarding the position of signal P490 on the up line coming out of the dive under at Cock Lane. Their concern is being stopped there and having to restart on the incline with a heavy train.
It is going to stay there for awhile. Lloyds Bank are looking to develop that field and have requested not to have the topsoil replaced.
Will they be opening a turf account?

Mick, Thanks for the latest news. I must have picked a quiet time for the dive-under. I will try again tomorrow as it is sunny again.

I suspect that there may be a lack of trained drivers. Hopefully the situation will improve over time.
I must be more patient it seems. I will keep revisiting the Cock Lane bridge during my lunch-times and when I am off for Christmas.

Views from Cock Lane bridge
A better day as regards the weather but nothing was using the dive-under. I talked to Andrew Winch and Ken Hill and they hadn't seen it being used while they had been there.
Does anyone know why the dive-under wasn't being used?

Some concrete was being broken up:
A carefully shaped mound of earth is still there on the flattened field:
A Class 66 plus containers not using the dive-under. Everything was coming off the joint line on the old tracks:

Very muddy up and down Hurn Road. It looks like it's being brought in from the new service road:

Does this mean that we now have to issue redundancy notices to our intrepid reporters?
Serious, an enormous thank you to all the regulars who have kept up up to date on the project.
Should there be an RMWeb award of some kind for such achievements?

I'm still hoping to photograph trains exiting the dive-under from the southern ramp. One or two goals to achieve yet... What do others think?

Might be a mistake by RTT
Just double checked and Spalding is correct from the RailUK.forum.co.uk thread and RTT. Lincoln came from me alone.
