Thanks, didn’t think there would be on the main route, wondered if any diversions took them into AB.Not on the main routes, no.
Thanks for that.There is a short AB section at Swinderby, between Newark and Lincoln, as well as AB sections between Newcastle and Carlisle. Both are used as diversionary routes by ECML services.
Thanks for that.
Is the Newcastle to Carlisle diversion route used by only LNER or do XC use it too for services to Edinburgh?

I believe Swinderby is now TCB in both directions.There is a short AB section at Swinderby, between Newark and Lincoln, as well as AB sections between Newcastle and Carlisle. Both are used as diversionary routes by ECML services.
Correct, as indeed it has been for many years – soon after the closure of Lincoln St Marks station and diversion around to West Holmes Jn, if I'm not mistaken.I believe Swinderby is now TCB in both directions.
Thank you.I think Barnsley to Horbury Junction is still AB, this is used by XC diversions
