and location cases between Walsall and Ryecroft Junction has continued
throughout the year. Implementation is planned for 1999/2000.
The development of proposals for the layout rationalisation and capacity
improvements in the Walsall area has continued throughout the year as part of

rationalise signalling infrastructure on the section of line between Stratford and
