Is there any plans to re-open Coronation Sidings come to think of it
? Every 9 months a gang go in to 'de-shrub' the area to stop the OLE
finding a nice path to ground, and the temporary lights are back
again on the far road. The north end access is still blocked[1] but
the south end was open again.


None that I know of. It's a shame, after all the work that was done - but if
the space isn't needed then I suppose that it would be an awful waste of
money (OTOH how much does it cost to keep them deforested, rather than just
dewiring them and lifting them?). I thought the same thing as I passed on
the ECML last week. Of course, Ferme Park was similarly derelict for some
time but has now had a new lease of life, courtesy of fGBR and their
Metronet work. In fantasyland, you could put a nice depot for Hull Trains in
place, which would eliminate all those silly ECS movements at the north end
to Crofton. ;-)
