Title: Autumn 2020 Engineering work - Bourne End to Marlow
Post by: bobm on May 31, 2020, 12:15:46
A note on the GWR forward engineering page (https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/planned-engineering) says the line between Bourne End and Marlow will be subject to engineering work between 14th and 29th November.  No more details but it is probably a safe bet the line will be close between those dates.

Track renewals between Bourne End and Marlow for the duration with full branch line closures at weekends during those days.

And so it came to pass - with no delays due to Covid-19 or whatever. Of course Covid was already in town in May, and a second "lockdown" only makes now a better time to do it. NR have a whole page on it (https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/rail-improvements-to-impact-journeys-between-maidenhead-and-marlow), though it's GWR's (https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/planned-engineering/marlow) that gives the length of track to be renewed as 2.25 miles - which is near enough all of it.
