Of the two slow lines which split away from each other either side of the dive-under lines, only the down line appears to be electrified and not the up. Can you explain the reason for this, please, because these two tracks appear to be going to and coming from the same places, ie, serving the same route? Thanks on this technical point, which is not spoiling my viewing of this highly watchable episode!

@werringtonjunction 10 күн бұрын

The split which is Marholm Junction was created when the dive under was built. The alignment of the two centre lines of the dive under was the original alignment of the Midland Railway line from Peterborough East station (on the Peterborough to Ely line) to Stamford. Oakham, Melton Mowbray, etc. The building of the dive under on the alignment of those lines made it necessary to put the Stamford lines either side of it. Way before all of that, the East Coast Main Line from Werrington Junction to Peterborough used to have five lines going south instead of the three that are there now and going north from Werrington Junction there were four, up and down main and up and down slow. Re-modelling of Werrington Junction over the years have seen the five lines going south reduced to the three we see today and the down slow removed as far as Helpston Junction about two miles to the north. After the removal of the ECML down slow, the down Stamford line then doubled up as the ECML down slow from Peterborough to Helpston Junction where it re-joined the ECML to create the original four track ECML going north. The electrification of the Down Stamford/Down ECML Slow to Helpston Junction which you enquire about was done in the late 1980's. The Stamford Line towards Melton Mowbray is not electrified hence why there is not OHE on the Up Stamford Line.

@@werringtonjunction Thank you so much! Ironically, it was watching Don's video that brought my question to mind again and made me ask you, being the Werrington specialist! I therefore watched it again and this time saw the point where the down slow leaves to go back to the ECML, taking the wires with it. The up slow ECML is therefore on the far left/East side, looking South, of the whole formation in your WJ videos. I'll see more every time I watch! Thanks again and all the best. Mike

@@mikeuk4130 I'm glad you have worked it all out Mike. It has always been a busy and interesting area around Werrington Junction. In Don's video, from Helpston towards Peterborough, the first overbridge (silvery grey colour) you see is Hurn Road footbridge where I do some videos from. That used to be a road crossing with manually worked gates and the original lattice footbridge only spanned the ECML, the steps coming down on the west side between the ECML and Stamford Lines so you had to walk across the Stamford Lines. Another bit of info, Werrington water troughs in steam days where on the ECML up and down fast between Hurn Road and Werrington Junction, the treatment plant being adjacent to the Joint/ECML about where the northern entrance to the dive under is.

In your videos we see the empties running back from Bow to Plasmor, do the loaded trains take a different route?

@werringtonjunction 24 күн бұрын

They run during the hours of darkness in this area David, usually via the ECML to Peterborough Yard then leave there early morning to go south. Occasionally the empties may return via the ECML to Doncaster rather than the Joint Line.

Hurn Road over-bridge ( from above and at ground level)still as good as anywhere as a platform for recording .Some strange consists/rakes this time . Farmer's spray boom as big as any I have seen in the US -- see Triple R Farms in Alabama -- but level ground is essential if the boom ends are not to touch the ground. The industrial site to the south of the over-bridge seems relatively inactive at a distance. Sorry to see the 91s slowly giving way to 'trams'. Birds seem strangely quiet for springtime ! TC

@werringtonjunction 2 ай бұрын

I like Hurn Road too, it's good for seeing things at a distance and it doesn't bounce up and down like the large green bridge at Cock Lane when trains pass. Still plenty of birds around although they may have been put off by the spraying, even I could taste it. I do watch a lot of farming videos on YT from both the US and UK. Having been brought up on a farm that way of life and interest never leaves you. Obviously it is far more sophisticated now with those large machines and electronic technology, no more pacing a field out and marking it with twigs from the hedgerow so you could plough it out evenly.😀 They are still working on the Lloyds Banking building, it is nowhere near finished yet. Hopefully the 91's will still be around until next year. Thank you for the comments Tom.
