With the East Coast Main Line tracks at #Werrington removed, our #EastCoastUpgrade teams are making good progress excavating earth from in front of our 155 metre, 11,000 tonne tunnel so it can be pushed forward.

A limited train service is able to use the tracks to the side. https://t.co/ChyK58AtiA
