Progress on the 1998 NMS
SIGNALLING RENEWALS PROPOSALS BETWEEN ELY–NORWICH AND
ELY–PETERBOROUGH We have completed studies of asset conditions and are
developing a programme of future renewals.
STATION REGENERATION PROGRAMME We will have completed work to 20
stations in 1998/99, and plan to finish the rest by March 2001.
GAUGE ENHANCEMENT EVALUATION IPSWICH–ELY–PETERBOROUGH We
are assessing increasing the gauge on these routes to provide an alternative route
from Felixstowe to the Midlands and beyond. We will make a decision by July
this year as part of our overall freight routeing strategy development.
DISABLED ACCESS AT STATIONS We have provided access to two more
stations, Cheshunt and at Bishops Stortford, where new lifts have been installed
in partnership with WAGN, Hertfordshire and Essex County Councils.
LINESPEED IMPROVEMENT HITCHIN–CAMBRIDGE Work will be complete this
year with the resulting journey-time saving built into the winter timetable.
