Yes - as discussed here in the past, the District renewals towards
Upminster
appear to use identical rail and sleepers to recent NR track renewals -
the
same 'mainline' firms are involved albeit in a Metronet led consortium.
Eventually the whole SSR is supposed to get the same treatment...

What will the sleepers be made of?


Concrete - obviously the fittings for the fourth rail are additional, but
the same rail securing, with pandrol clips, as on the big railway...
