🚄We officially opened a new tunnel near #Peterborough yesterday ✅ It'll allow longer freight trains to divert under the East Coast Main Line. 🎥Here's more info!⬇️

@Rich_Crabtree Thank you!!

@ECMLupgrade @railindustry @Modern_Railways @networkrail @NetworkRailKGX @transportgovuk @LNER @TLRailUK @GNRailUK @GC_Rail @Hull_Trains Richly deserved.

🏆We’re honoured to have won the Major Project prize at the 2021 Railway Innovation Awards today for our successful remodelling of London King’s Cross station as part of the #EastCoastUpgrade! @railindustry @Modern_Railways #RIA2021

@GarethDennis @Auriga_ZA @CEaston66 @RAIL The tunnel is designed to accommodate all types of rolling stock - from Class 142s to the biggest W12 gauge – includes evacuation walkways, and has room to allow overhead lines too, should these be required in the future… [2/2]

@GarethDennis @Auriga_ZA @CEaston66 @RAIL We can confirm that all rolling stock, including intermodal freight, can safely pass each other on adjacent lines in all parts of the Werrington dive-under – the passing clearance is greater than normal and complies with all applicable national & company codes of practice! [1/2]

🎂Happy 1st birthday to our Stevenage Turnback platform! ✅This platform allows trains from the Hertford Line to terminate & return towards London without taking up capacity on the East Coast Main Line, enabling more trains to run while improving reliability. #EastCoastUpgrade

👷We’re installing the second track through our new tunnel at #Werrington. ⚠️There are no @CrossCountryUK or @EastMidRailway trains between Leicester, Stamford & Peterborough this weekend while we connect these new tracks into the rest of the network. #EastCoastUpgrade

⬆️@GBRailfreight👍

🚇With the first track installed, here’s the very first locomotive to run through our new dive-under tunnel beneath the East Coast Main Line at #Werrington. 🛤After the second line is installed, tampers will ensure both tracks are correctly aligned. #EastCoastUpgrade
