Stafford back to square one

摘要

When Network Rail declared the West Coast Route Modernisation programme to be complete on December 8 2008 (RB1333 p2), there were in fact two substantial projects outstanding. Resignalling and track alterations at Bletchley are set to commence shortly, but a larger project to reduce conflicting movements at Colwich Junction, Stafford and Norton Bridge now appears to have been abandoned.
