TRACK RENEWALS AND LINESPEED IMPROVEMENTS Significant track
renewals have been carried out between Bolton and Blackburn and between
Gannow Junction and Hall Royd Junctions to improve reliability and ride quality.
As a result of the work, linespeed will be raised, leading to journey-time
improvements.
CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS Major works have taken place at Kitson Wood
and Horsfall Tunnel to ensure that good performance on the route is maintained.
We received external recognition for this work when an award was received
from the Institution of Civil Engineers (North East division) for the stabilisation
works associated with Horsfall Tunnel.
