Progress on the 1998 NMS
We have worked with H J Banks to reopen a coal-handling siding at Renishaw
Park, and with British Steel and Associated British Ports to improve capacity at
the Immingham Bulk Terminal. In addition, EWS, Avesta Sheffield and Railtrack
have collaborated on a scheme at Tinsley to allow the expansion of the works
and improve the potential for future traffic growth.
Feasibility work to extend the run-round loop at Buxton has been
completed but implementation of the proposal is dependent on the identification
of future traffic requirements. Reinstatement of the Olive Mount Chord Line to
provide direct access to the Bootle Branch has been the subject of detailed
feasibility work; this will be kept under review as changing traffic flows to
Liverpool Docks emerge.
