I was looking through Rail 377 (Febuary 23rd-March 7th 2000) and it had a feature on ECML upgrades. Some of these upgrades included:
Flyover at Newark, to replace the current flat crossing, allowing more trains to run on the Nottingham-Lincoln and ECML respectively.
Remodelling lines at York to reduce conflicting movements, including
re-instating a centre road.
New lines for Thameslink 3000 (no typo!)
Re-opening of the leamside line.
What we should have by now:
New platform at Kings Cross (platform 0!)
Up slow reinstated at Huntingdon
Newark flyover
Hitchin Flyover
Thameslink 3000
Yaxley-Fletton quadroupling
plus more which i CBA to type up.
What we now have:
Allington Chord
Extra Platform(s) at Edinburgh waverley
