Replacing nearly a hundred years old rails to install reinforced ones to handle Sizewell C construction freight. Its a nightmare living out that way at the moment. |  |

I remember walking along some of that track to Sizewell many years ago. Many of the sleepers were rotten then. But as the only trains were taking neuclear waste in a reinforced container at 15mph that was probably fine.
Now they are to take heavy building materials it is high time for an upgrade. | | | |

Whilst it's clearly going to be a pain for the next few weeks, there is at least a clear purpose to this work, a bit like with the new station near Chelmsford, which makes the inconvenience less annoying.
Certainly when compared to the endless bits of other engineering work on the main line. |  |

Except the could have done the works the last time they took track possession and it was bus replacement on that line. They haven't just suddenly discovered the track is ancient and needs fixing.
And are our EDF friends paying for it...doubt it. |  | | |

Surely it will be the buses that are train replacements? |  |
