York To Church Fenton – 10th August 2022

These pictures show the new electrification between York and Church Fenton.

My train was going towards York.

Half-an-hour later, I went to Manchester via Leeds and took the newly-electrified line.

• The Class 802 train was on diesel on this section, but it was cruising at 100 mph.
• One the train had passed Church Fenton station, it appeared to slow noticeably.
• Today, York and Church Fenton took eight and a half minutes.

It will be interesting to see timings, when the wires are switched on.
