NENE VALLEY, Yarwell Station Project - Progress Reports

Work started in the last two weeks of January on preparations for new trackwork and for the new station platform to be built on the south side of the line. Excavated material from Wansford Workshop project was run in spoil trains to the Yarwell platform area. More spoil trains will run later this year.

We anticipate carrying out the trackwork by April this year, and Hannah Hackett, the Environment Agency and other key members are actively pursuing construction of the platform and other facilities to follow on. Much more information and news will follow on the Nene Valley Website.
