Jamie2k9: Thanks. It's a long closure for just 1.7km of track renewal (+ Lurgan platforms). I shudder to think what might be the impact of renewing all the rather bad track between Lurgan and Lisburn.
Irish Rail's use of weekend single-line working and night-time possessions on the Cork line seems to be much less disruptive. |

Its major works and total renewal, level crossings etc. The platforms are being replaced almost entirely as well. The security arrangements are likely to be interesting to say the least.
The documentation and notice from Translink is miles ahead of Irish Rail's standard approach of 7-14 days notice and sketchy information. The works on the Cork line are mainly automated ballast cleaning which is minor in comparison.

It has been lifted to 70 mph so far but is expected to be raised to 90 mph later this year. The AHBs will not attract a lower speed limit as up to 100 mph is permitted through such crossings in the UK.
I imagine both both Portadown/Newry locals and the Enterprise will be accelerated later in the year. |
