With a new track layout being installed, the position of existing masts and gantries that carry the overhead power lines needs to change, along with some of the signalling equipment. Points operating equipment is being updated to state of the art technology. Once complete, the new track layout will reduce congestion by allowing trains to enter the junction, change lines and exit at greater speed.
