Werrington Dive-Under – 28th October 2020
I took these pictures as I passed the Werrington Dive-Under on my way North this morning.
It seems to be coming on.

East Coast Upgrade (@ECMLupgrade) Tweeted: 👀 This fantastic bird’s-eye view shows the great progress we’re making at Werrington, north of Peterborough, to construct a new line and tunnel to let freight trains dive under the East Coast Main Line, making room for more passenger trains as part of our #EastCoastUpgrade. https://t.co/GHycuwrRjf
Network rail has issued a video of this project from above which given complaints about HS2 and suggestions of upgrading existing lines shows how much land is still needed !

Werrington is the third big dive-under project after Acton and Bermondsey. I wonder how many others are in the pipeline, now they seem to be able to build them without causing disruption.

Interesting press release from NR https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/peterborough-north-passengers-who-have-to-travel-on-east-coast-main-line-urged-to-plan-ahead-as-major-stage-of-gbp-1-2billion-upgrade-takes-place-this-month One advantage of Covid means there are fewer passengers to be inconvenienced by engineering works of this scale.
