Progress on the 1998 NMS
CENTRALISATION OF SIGNALLING CONTROL Our analysis has shown that
capacity and reliability improvements can be achieved without centralising
signalling control.
INCREASE CAPACITY FOR FREIGHT TRAINS We will progress both
lengthening passing loops to 750m and create additional capacity for freight
trains, subject to agreement of funding.
STATIONS We have completed the regeneration programme at eight stations as
planned.
TURNBACK FACILITIES AT ABERGAVENNY We will consider improvement to
turnback facilities for passenger services at Abergavenny in conjunction with
alterations to crossovers.
ST JULIAN’S VIADUCT NEAR NEWPORT We are evaluating options for
refurbishing the viaduct in 2001/02.
