Last weekend (July 5-6), TRU completed its latest series of upgrades after five consecutive weekends of work between Leeds and York, that will support the electrification of the railway. 🛠️
7.5km of wiring has now been completed between Micklefield and Church Fenton, following overhead line equipment (OLE) mast installation earlier in the year, helping unlock faster, greener journeys in the future. 🚅
In Cross Gates, Station Road bridge was safely demolished and replaced so that more OLE can be installed throughout the area. ⚡
Around 750m of track was also renewed between Killingbeck and Cross Gates, which will support smoother, more reliable travel, whilst a new track crossover was installed to allow trains to change from one line to another - this will enable the programme to keep more people moving on trains during a future stage of TRU delivery. 🛤️
Electric passenger services between York and Church Fenton are set to launch in the coming months, following last year's successful switch-on between Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge. 🚨

Could you image how smart this would look at Bradford Interchange if it was pressure washed 😀 @networkrail @WestYorkshireCA

A @CrossCountryUK HST train stands at York on its trip today from Edinburgh to Plymouth, last month of HST operation.
