We have eliminated some long-standing speed restrictions typically caused by mining subsidence in order to lift the linespeed and give improved journey times to these local communities. Our analysis of the requirements for passing loops on the Hope Valley has shown that the current network can sustain the envisaged growth in the immediate future. Similarly, the existing signalling system can support the current network for some years to come. Increased use has been made of the Barnetby–Gainsborough Line to reduce delays to freight trains and improve performance on the Doncaster–Immingham route. PERFORMANCE We have installed axle-counters to replace track circuit activated signalling in the two-mile Disley Tunnel to improve the reliability of the signalling system and therefore the performance of train services on this route. We have installed low friction equipment on point mechanisms to improve the performance of junctions, especially targeting those which suffer coal or sand contamination. Dedicated junction care teams have focused on improving the reliability of particular locations using a combination of advanced fault analysis, regular heavy maintenance attention, new specialised equipment and additional renewals. Bridge improvements undertaken at Althorpe near Scunthorpe have improved ride quality and performance on the route and have reduced journey times. Work to replace the waybeams on the King George V swing bridge at Keadby has improved performance not only on the railway but also for canal users. LINESPEED We are still exploring the difficult operational arrangements, which have to date frustrated the early delivery of linespeed improvements between Hazel Grove and Stockport. A significant workload of track work has been completed to remove numerous long-standing speed restrictions along the Humber Estuary from Immingham to Doncaster, improving performance. FREIGHT Freight train gauge improvements between Doncaster, Immingham, Goole and Hull are part of the Trans-Pennine high-gauge feasibility study being conducted this year (see Route 8). We have also completed work at New Holland to enable new freight services to be operated. STATIONS Improved access for disabled passengers has been implemented at Hope Station in partnership with Derbyshire County Council. A further scheme is being undertaken at Bamford. Regeneration work on the other stations in the Hope Valley will start this summer and will address items such as platform resurfacing, construction of new waiting shelters and improvements in lighting. Further partnership schemes with Derbyshire County Council are planned for 1999/2000. A new footbridge linking the station to the local Earth Centre is under construction at Conisborough. This will improve access to both locations. Regeneration work on the station at Cleethorpes is complete. The stations at Grimsby and Goole will start later this year; work is currently in hand at Sheffield and Doncaster. At many stations, improved facilities have included better platform surface and drainage, as well as tactile paving and better lighting which will benefit station users. Regeneration work has been carried out at the small train maintenance depot at Cleethorpes. SIGNALLING WORK A major resignalling scheme at Worksop has been completed, and has led to improved train punctuality. TRACK AND STRUCTURES A programme of track, bridge and embankment works between Doncaster and Grimsby has been completed and long-standing temporary speed restrictions removed. This is a particularly difficult section of track to maintain because of the substrata on which it lies – the result has been a major improvement to train punctuality along this part of the route. We have also completed renewal and enhancement work at the important junction at Brocklesby. This junction serves the heavily used freight link between the docks at Immingham and the steel mills at Scunthorpe, and has led to a much-improved infrastructure for the freight operators. This has enabled our customers to offer improved journey times and improved route performance. E A F G 209
