Is there anything happening on the leeds to york section, seems to have gone quiet.

Will there be overnight blockades like on the ashton line for the electrification works or will they still be shutting the westhoughton line at the weekends?

Good excuse for a trip to York then.

September 2025 for the wigan to bolton line to be done and the leeds to church fenton line done by August 2028.

Wonder if they'll go up to crow's nest junction first, so they can use the atherton line for diversions and just crack on with the westhoughton line up to lostock jct.

Would of thought they would of tested both lines last week, unless they're doing it before the december timetable change so the 802s can use the overheads. Sure I read somewhere either on here or on other forums, june for northern, december for tpe. Found it.

When is stalybridge likely to see it's first electric train, now that the wires have been tested?

Bet they'll be used in June or before depending on the ORR. When will the guide bridge lines be tested is the £64 billion dollar question.

I'll have nosey at the site when the baildon line is reopened, only 10mins on the train from menston, about an hour on the A3 from Otley.

Wonder if they'll keep skipton CS open when the depot is ready.

The department of transport have just tweeted about the new depot at Shipley for the electric trains. https://twitter.com/transportgovuk/status/1768235280694181986?t=nUQqQCu3lMHllKBvxldzKQ&s=19

Confirmation of this mornings tests on LinkedIn on the ashton line. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jake-berry-515a4b137_collaboration-ole-quality-activity-7173629431863799808-se9k?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

I'd go for a look but the baildon line is shut for another month and it takes ages to get to shipley on the bus these days especially from where I live.

Looks like the test train on the ashton line ran this morning, wonder what the outcome was, after testing the wires. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W34875/2024-03-13/detailed Same again tomorrow morning. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W34875/2024-03-14/detailed

Will changing contractors add to the cost as well?

I think they'll do the leeds to church fenton next before they do leeds to huddersfield, then huddersfield to stalybridge.

Funnily enough just been reading this post on LinkedIn.

Probably run it in the paths that have a rail replacement bus.

Great minds think alike. I had to screenshot the post though as I have an old phone. I'll let you look on realtimes. Post 7625 further up the page says it could be a 331.
