I guess this would mean the end of the lovely old wooden Midland Railway wagon works if it still exists behind all those hoardings. What's the betting on a 'mysterious fire' one Sunday night? (CJL)
They are in use and have money spent on them recently

All the brexit propaganda was about us not having to follow European standards and directives, so presumably we don't have to if we don't want to. So has the British railway industry decided in favour of maintaining compatibility with foreigners, or can we still have our garlic-free stale cheese sandwiches?
why would anyone want to go it alone and make a British version when you can just buy the working European version?
other countries outside Europe have, so why not NR?

I had seen it reported though that only a few of the class 197s were to be fitted with the system, 13 if I remember. Hopefully, it will be easy to fit it to the rest later.
But the manual signalling on the Marches route seems to work quite well! (and provides jobs)

Moreton on Lugg has just got electric light signals

That doesn't actually matter because if you wanted to make provision for ROC A to be able to take over ROC B then you'd need a set of standby workstations anyway for ROC B's area as you'd still need ROC A's own area workstations to be operational.
However, overall the whole idea is a non-starter unless you want to spend very, very serious amounts of money, and that's assuming you design it in from the start; the cost becomes stratospheric if you try to bolt it on afterwards. The comparison with banks etc is not really valid as real time safety critical control of distributed specialist hardware using bespoke workstations is a whole different ball game to non-time critical transactional processing. I've done system design for disaster backup for both in my career and they are chalk and cheese.
Apparently the liz line can be controlled from a backup room should the main site need to be cleared

I’m interested in how they think they can make the roundabout by queensgate smaller when it is basically a hole in the ground with paths/cycle routes through it.
also Crescent sidings and the wagon works have just had money spent on them.
the sheds are listed.

No recruiting freeze but asking people to leave at the same time.
if the scheme was ready to go before and half done and now there is more money then why not just pick up and carry on?
probably as most of the team has left?
Wonder How many have taken severance?

Not heard anything about this for a while,
what type of unit would provide the service if it did reopen?
Some new fangled batteries job?

The hypocrisy of the reduction in tax on domestic air travel, just before COP26, is lamentable.
It would be funny if it weren't so depressing.

Great pictures and good to see how the work is going.
this thread has taken a few detours but a great record of how to build a new bit of railway from scratch
