Works to the Railway at St Albans this Christmas - Day 8

[@thebodyworkeruk]

Thank you for sharing these. Amazing to see. I live in Nappers and even though this has been very controversial for many of the residents, it is undoubtedly an amazing feat of engineering.

Brilliant series of videos. Very rare to get coverage of such large projects. I say this as Network Rail obviously couldn't be bothered. Thanks very much for your time and effort in doing this.

Thank you, I really don't know why they don't. It is the same on HS2, they throw up a brief video of something that has taken months.

Shows you that with enough money & manpower you can get things done fast - even in the UK!

It looks like the new divergence embankment has grown since the other day. I have a feeling that's built with what the the yellow ballast trucks were carrying. They'll need a few more deliveries like that I'd guess. Thanks again for doing this. It keeps us all in touch with an important development. I can see the bridge deck is done at Agar Grove and it looks as though they will be pouring concrete soon as the rebar is all in place.

The two trains are Tampers, it was one of them making the noise at the beginning of the video as it lifted the track to the correct position and pushed the ballast under the sleepers.

Thank you, I wondered what they were.

Trains wont be running to St Pancras yet as there is another bridge replacement, just north of STP

[@martinansell9145]

Great video as always 👏👍

[@MrCraigNic]

Will you be documenting the entire site until its completion? Its good to see how these works are all done and see the progress made

[@masekwm]

I'll continue to track the development as it progresses, I have a great place to film from so should be able to film it occasionally.

Place your bets now, . . . what's the betting that'll need to do exactly the same again in ten years time, as the warehousing mushrooms beyond existing expectatiions. (M1 motorway syndrome).
