Knebworth Track Renewals January - March 2000

Engineering work is carried out all along the length of the ECML.  Between January and March 2000 track possessions were in place, between 18:00 Saturday and 04:00 Monday, operating between Alexandra Palace and Stevenage, with various bit of work going on.  The work in the Knebworth area involved station platform resurfacing and replacement of the northbound slow road which was short length rail on wooden sleepers.  This work was completed at the beginning of March.  The the work looks like it will also involve replacement of the two slips at Woolmer Green which is where the two track bottleneck ends, currently there is substitute point work trackside.

Other work carried out included the replacement of the up fast - down fast reverse crossovers at Hatfield and New Southgate- with thanks to Peter Simons for this information
