The last train ran over 20 years ago accordingto t'interweb. You are probably looking at the records for the line to St Ives. The new station is being built on the old Chesterton Sidings, which continues to have aggregates traffic to the Lafarges site. Neither. The St Ives exit signal has been maintained and remains on the Cambridge panel. I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm not sure I understand. Is there a St Ives exit signal from the sidings area as well as signals allowing entry into the sidings area? For the station you'd only need the latter. It's what's left of Chesterton Junction and will become the bay platform starter, AIUI. And in the latest news - delayed by lizards on the line http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News...0616052135.htm yes I know it's a month old for locals, but the national news has only just caught up :-) tim |

wrote: The Lea Bridge station is a reopening, using the existing platforms. A better comparison might be the all-new station at Southend Airport, which cost £16m in 2011. Allowing for inflation, the new stations for 8-car trains might cost £20m apiece, plus a few million each to upgrade two existing stations, so the stations probably account for ~£50m. They are very expensive platforms then. Slightly more than platforms, as I'm sure you already know: http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/new..._tube_station/ |
