This Easter, we'll start work to make your rail services more reliable in Essex and East London.

在未来四年内,我们在更换50公里的电线上投资超过80万英镑。这是升级工作的重要组成部分架空线路设备(OLE)– which gives power to electric trains – fromFenchurch Street.Hornchurch伦敦, 并Pitsea.Essex., along theTilbury line

我们在英国围绕英国的复活节作品将于4月5日星期五到星期一至4月5日星期一,并将涉及600 upgrades and routine maintenance projects在英国。

We're reminding you to继续遵循政府的建议around the use of public transport and minimise travel over the Easter bank holiday.

If you do need to travel by rail over this period, please plan ahead and check whether the works will affect your journey.

You can find out how our improvement projects will affect your Easter journeys with your train operator, viaNational Rail Enquiries或者在Twitter上遵循#eajectRailworks。

埃塞克斯和东伦敦这件复活节发生了什么?

我们始终维持和升级我们的电动火车架空线路设备

We're making vital improvements to the架空线设备。我们在英国的许多地方使用Ole,因为电动火车比柴油列车更好。他们也可以安静地为火车和靠近铁路生活的人。

Read about the benefits of electrification.

Problems with the OLE – such as power failures or extreme hot weather, causing the wires to expand and sag – can lead to delays to train services. These problems can be complex to resolve, requiring us to slow down or cancel services through the area.

This upcoming improvement work will support the wider economy as we emerge from lockdown, delivering a more reliable and sustainable system that will require less maintenance. This means less cost to the taxpayer and less disruption to passengers visiting the area in the future.

Track

它不仅仅是架空线路设备,可使铁路顺利运行。就像道路表面一样,track也从不断使用中佩戴。我们技术的工程师团队定期进行检查和修理,但随着时间的推移,曲目变得如此佩戴,完全更换是避免避免延迟和取消服务的速度限制的唯一选择。

在接下来的四年里,我们正在翻新结构和更换轨道和点 - 这允许列车改变轨道 - 沿着Fenchurch Street到Shoeburyness和Tilbury线路的线路。

Once replaced, we expect the track and points to last about 25 years. This will mean fewer track faults, fewer closures for maintenance and better reliability for your journeys.
