Visit National RailWe have replaced two heavily-used sets of track points, which allow trains in and out of Holgate Sidings from the main lines.
These are crossed over by 100 passenger and freight trains each day and were approaching life-expiry. Replacing them will help ensure that trains arriving in York from Leeds run reliably.
This is a key part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), which will transform journeys across the North, better connecting towns and cities by delivering more frequent, faster trains between Manchester, Leeds and York on a greener, more reliable railway.
