Work continues to the railway between Bedford and Kettering as part of our Midland Main Line Upgrade
As part of the ongoing work to electrify the line, we need to complete a programme of track renewals and new track installation.
We will also need to carry out “Tamping”; this involves using an on-track machine to compact the ballast under sleepers to maintain the correct geometry of the track, making it more durable and creates a smoother and quieter ride for passengers and line side neighbours.
Tamper每晚旅行数英里的轨道，并且在任何一个地方都很少静静地静止。因此，在特定日期/时间内通知机器的居民并不总是实用的。
我们将在下面的日期/次的地点工作过夜。请注意，列出的地点是我们的轨道接入点和工作将在下表中的距离之间的任何点处进行。员工和设备将通过我们的铁路访问访问。在这些封闭期间将发生其他必要的作品。

Kettering和Wellingborough的站点继续
在Kettering和Wellingborough的驻地改进工作于2019年5月开始，并将继续进入2021年夏季。
在Kettering的工作现已完成包括，扩展平台1,2,3和4，对平台檐篷的修改以适应电气化的架空电线。我们将根据车站的历史图纸翻新檐篷和恢复一些丢失的建筑细节。我们还改善了站点照明，中央电视台和公共公告系统。预计在2021年夏季将在Kettering队伍的工作。
At Wellingborough station as well as building platform 4, we have extended and improved the existing platforms to reduce stepping distance onto trains. The historic canopies have been refurbished, with The Railway Heritage Trust contributing a significant heritage grant to this part of the scheme.

井花堡的驻地改进
New waiting shelters, lighting, CCTV and fencing have also been installed and the footbridge has been extended to platform 4. Stanton Cross Developments LLP contributed to the footbridge extension as part of its Stanton Cross development. The Grade II listed Goods Shed has been renovated to provide a walkway for passengers on platform 1.
预计在2021年将在平台1上进行轻微的钩住工作和对天篷的工作。
Extensive work has already been carried out this part of the route as part of the Midland Main Line Upgrade, and has included:
- 新的开关和穿越kettering站以南，允许火车连接到其他轨道和主线到近距离在凯特站建造的电气稳定设施 - 所有4个轨道现在都在近距离旁边，这涉及1425米新的普通线路轨道，并通过为新电动火车提供稳定设施来补充MML的电气化。
- 23km of new track has been laid to produce the fourth line.
- 1.5 km of embankment works have been carried out.
- 15 structures have been strengthened.
- 已安装105个新信号，11个新的信号龙头。
- 还通过建造和延伸平台和调整檐篷以容纳架空电缆来准备第四线和电气化的一部分作为计划的一部分作为计划的一部分升级。
The benefits of the fourth line
附加线的好处将增加路线的能力，从Corby，Kettering和London St Pancras之间提供更长的座位，此外，它还可以从目前的每小时创造6列车到伦敦St Pancras的能力5到5月2021年5月。
这将创建：
- Additional resilience to the operational railway
- Improved timetable as a result of the additional line as allows for a second train per hour for Corby to be introduced from May 2021
The first section was successfully energised on 26 July 2020.
Electric trains are quieter, meaning less disruption for lineside neighbours and wildlife; and they produce less emissions at the point of use – which means they don’t contribute to local air quality issues often found in urban areas.
Electric trains are also lighter, meaning that they need less power to do the same journeys. The power supply for electric trains is supplied by the National Grid and an ever increasing amount of this power is being produced by renewable and low carbon technology, which means less fossil fuels and less emissions, and that means our railways are becoming more environmentally friendly.
Other work completed
Where we have ensured that all structures allow enough height for the new overhead electrification equipment to safely pass under, that bridges we pass over are strengthened where required, that we remove all line side vegetation to meet relevant safety standards and all necessary station modifications and track work is completed.
We have undertaken 13 bridge reconstructions to allow clearances for the Overhead Line Electrification (OLE), as part of the electrification of the Midland Main Line from Bedford to Corby.
这包括成功完成在驻地伊斯坦，芬丹路桥，惠灵斯堡高架桥，伊尔凯尔大道，伊尔泰特汉公路桥，布罗姆姆路和伊斯特莱斯伯勒路的驻地公路伊瑟姆。
我们有了更多的结构,我们正在研究,cluding Bromham Road Bridge and Irthlingborough Road and will be posting the most up to date information here, as well as notifying local residents in advance of work commencing.
The commissioned track and signalling installed by Network Rail between Kettering and Corby was installed in February 2018 – marking the successful completion of this £130million capacity project.
As a key part of the wider Midland Main Line Upgrade, the project has seen a significant amount of work carried out since construction began in 2014 to improve the capacity, speed and resilience of the railway between the two Northamptonshire towns.
We have:
- Strengthened and improved 14 structures
- 铺设了12公里的新轨道，排水4公里和73公里的布线
- 安装了六个信号龙台，并进行了15公里的堤防改进
- Increased the speed at which trains can run on the line
- The project’s track improvement work also raised the maximum possible speed of trains to 90mph in sections that had previously been restricted to 60mph.
From 2021, this upgrade will enable improved services between Corby, Kettering and London – with over 1000 additional extra seats into London during the peak, an increase of around 50%, and faster intercity journey times on greener trains.
