    Coopers Lane Tunnel (Stansted Airport)

    All 3 platforms at Stansted are wired, but if it wasn't a dynamic pantograph raising site could've been installed before Audley End.

    Euston-Wembley IC Depot going via Wembley Central?

    It appears to be en error when RTT have filled in the itermediate locations between Harlesden Jn and Wembley IC Depot. If you look at the WTT times at Willesden Sudbury Jn and Wembley Central you'll notice they are slightly greyed out meaning they are not in the base schedule data from Network...

    Class 321 storage/scrapping

    No, there are only 3 diagrams per day now (all 4 cars on the Walton branch). The rest will just be waiting their turn in the handback process.

    Class 755 Diesel to O/H

    The Haughley Jn changeover site has been in use since 7th March, with similar sites at Lakenham (south of Norwich) and Marks Tey installed in January and another site at Ely North Jn being installed in the next month or two.

    Stansted Express - Peak Frequency Uplift from May 22nd

    There's a problem with one of the sliding steps getting stuck under the platform at one specific door position on platform 3.

    Stansted Express - Peak Frequency Uplift from May 22nd

    There is only 1 booked passenger 720 to Stansted in the diagrams I've seen and thats 08:25 Cambridge - Stansted & 09:09 Stansted - Cambridge on Sundays. It looks like the peak extra trains will be formed by 3x peak only 745/1 diagrams and 3x 745/0s coming from the GE with 755s in multiple...

    Northumberland Line to be re-opened to passengers

    Bedlington South remains but is downgraded to a gate box controlling Bedlington South MCB only. The new Tyneside ROC Ashington workstation will fringe to Morpeth SB on the single line, to Winning SB around Marcheys House/West Sleekburn Jns, and towards Lynemouth PS which I think is worked as...

    Birmingham New Street PSB

    Not sure who has access, I was given access after an FOI a few years ago but I think NR's policy may have changed.

    Greater Anglia Bombardier Aventras (Class 720): Technical discussion and introduction

    I misread my calendar, it was actually accepted on Friday 18/11/2022. The first recorded service was 1K17 Southend - London on Tuesday 22/11/2022.

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    The plans I have show it as 50mph towards both routes, with preliminary route indicators replacing flashing yellow approach control.

    Abellio Greater Anglia Class 755s (Regional Trains)

    I believe its mostly because of Stansted going back to 4tph, plus re-introduction of Norwich in 90 services and a desire to reduce 745/1 use on IC services.
