North London Line
"bobrayner" wrote If Felixstowe traffic is to avoid London, wouldn't it reverse at Ipswich? Avoiding this by adding a curve to the existing junction would be nontrivial. At first glance there only seems to be room for a *very* tight curve on the available land; any more and you have to deal with the industrial park / residential area / supermarket to the north... No? Reversing at Ipswich isn't too much of a problem. After all, electrically hauled freight that comes down the GEML has to recess and re-engine there. As well as gauge clearance, loop lengths, and signalling improvements from Ipswich to Birmingham via Peterborough and Leicester there will be a need for doubling some or all of the Felixtowe branch, and some new connections at Nuneaton so that freight from Felixtowe to the North West can easily take advantage of the Trent Valley 4-tracking.
