Expansion work at Leeds Uncategorized by railsistem@gmail.com - October 24, 20190 THE next major stage of expansion work at Leeds station will take place on October 26-27, when services will be reduced to accommodate further construction work on the new platform 0. The new bay platform is being installed alongside platform 1 on the western side of the station, used mainly by Northern regional trains serving lines to the west of the city. Network Rail engineers will install overhead line equipment and test new signalling for the platform. Northern multiple units await their next duties in the former parcels platforms at Leeds, which are currently being modified to create an additional platform (platform 0). Track and signalling will also be simplified to create extra capacity for regional services. NETWORK RAIL A revised, simpler track layout is also being introduced for platforms 1-6, and improvements to the signalling across the entire station are taking place to reduce delays caused by conflicting movements. Platform 0 is expected to come into use in 2021. Read more News and Features in the October 2019 issue of The RM –on sale now! Enjoy more of The Railway Magazine reading every month.
