Autumn 2020 Engineering work - Bourne End to Marlow

« on: May 31, 2020, 12:15:46 »

A note on the GWR^▸ forward engineering page 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.

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^» Network Rail - home page) have a whole page on it, though it's GWR^▸ 's that gives the length of track to be renewed as 2.25 miles - which is near enough all of it.

)

The line between Bourne and Marlow is in the first week of a 2 week closure for track renewals, services being replaced by a bus.

This is does not look like its causing to many issues as there has been nothing posted
