[QUOTE=aurigny72;10687832]The engineering work will finally finish on the weekend of March 21/22, although there will be one further weekend of final closure on April 18-19 for drainage purposes. Thank goodness for that.[/QUOTE
Sorry, it won't .

The routine work that every railway requires is now carried out during weekend shutdowns because this is so more cost effective than getting a small army of people to do the work between the last train and the first train next day and reduces the risk to the contractors of penalties for overrunning works. It's a scandal that's been going on for the last 10-15 years with the excuse they are "upgrading the network"
