Great that lots is happening in Hundersfield now.

[@philipbolton2811]

Great that you’re actually removing scrap and selling it on, I would have thought that this should be done at all work sites as a matter of course. When I travel around Manchester and the greater NW area I would say this is definitely not the case, Network Rail and it’s subcontractors must be the most untidy of organisations in the country, and don’t get me started on the buddleia infestations around Manchester.

what about east west rail?
we heard little from it...

[@Andrewjg_89]

Nice to see you constructing a new platform at Beaulieu Park near Chelmsford that the new station is set to open next year.

[@MichealRandall-q2x]

I love railways but sometimes the cost can be prohibitive

[@wasted-blaster.]

So no mention of the S&C renewal which happened a weekend back at luton on east mids then?

[@JamesT85Gaming]

What about why London Euston was closed? I thought that was an Easter project?

[@Braveplantt]

I think it's bc of HS2

[@darrenwilliams118]

That was the closure at Denbeigh Hall south of Milton Keynes. Plus other work at Watford and Willesden in North London.

[@hoc9640]

just bad planing to have a Huddersfield Staiton shut for 10 days

[@andrewreynolds4949]

They can’t rebuild significant parts of the station without closing it. I’m surprised the closures aren’t longer
