S & T work Middle Forge

As part of the planned upgrade to Middle Forge Junction, Richard from the S & T team reports that on an unseasonably hot Monday and Tuesday the S&T team removed and replaced the old ground frame with a refurbished one.

The previous frame used to operate two points and two facing point locks. With the changes made to the track layout in the last few years this was reduced to one point and one facing point lock.

This is just part of upgrades being made this month at this important junction. The team plans to install a bracket signal in a better position than the current home signal signal.
