转变往返国王十字架
£1.2亿英镑的东海岸升级的主要部分是我们在国王十字架上重新开展轨道,信令和架空线路的数百万英镑的投资来转变往返伦敦的旅行。
The Upgrade is providing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve this vital part of the rail network, which carries long-distance trains bound for the North of England and Scotland as well as many commuter services across north London and Cambridgeshire, and prepare the infrastructure for the future.
虽然车站本身于2012年现代化,但大部分轨道和信号设备都在40岁以上。它正在接近其运营生活的结束,并且变得越来越难以维持。
工作涉及什么
这项工作将简化通向该标志性站的轨道布局,通过使火车更容易到达并离开,提高可靠性。它将看到我们的团队更换轨道,信令和架空线路跨越车站的半英里。
我们还将打开第三条瓦斯工程隧道,这条隧道于1970年代关闭,以便在通往车站的道路上增加两条额外的轨道。这意味着,在国王十字交叉口进出的服务方面,将有更多的容量和更大的灵活性。
The signalling system between King’s Cross and Peterborough is being transferred from the local King’s Cross signal box to the state-of-the-art Railway Operations Centre in York. While modern signalling will help us to recover services more quickly if disrupted, this change will also allow the signal box at King’s Cross to be demolished, creating additional space for the new tracks into the third tunnel.
在2020年圣诞节,我们完成了重新设计和重建Camden下水道的工作,这条下水道直接在车站外的轨道下运行。火车必须在脆弱的维多利亚下水道上以较低的速度运行,并进行重建,使列车在旅途中开始加速,更快更快。
Benefits to passengers
Once completed, our work at King’s Cross will deliver quicker, more reliable journeys.
这与其他东海岸升级项目相结合,并在路线上引入了新列车,不仅会为伦敦和北方之间的额外列车服务创造空间,但也将有助于缓解拥堵和减少旅程时间。
Future work
Work will continue during 2021, which means there are times when train services will be affected.
