New developments have recently been announced by Network Rail to improve the railway tracks along the Skelton New Bridge in the locality from York to North Allerton.
What this will involve exactly is the taking away of the aged track dating from 1972 and the replacement of it with a brand new one, as well as the dismantling of a speed limit that had only been present for three years when it was imposed back in the year 2014. Such reparation works will equally involve the solidifying of the bridge structure as a whole and will ensure that new services along the York-North Allerton route will be quicker and safer than they have ever been before.
With the costs of the project totaling £1 million, this is not a cheap enterprise but it is a necessary one that will be implemented between the 18th and the 27th of this month of February. It is hoped that, while there will be some disruptions to the services, that passengers and commuters can recognize that the implementation of new track lines along that particular area of the Yorkshire region is a necessary implementation that will ultimately result in a much better service for those that use the route regularly as well as visitors and tourists wanting to explore the various things that the region has to offer. Gary Costello of Network Rail is very pleased to be involved in this ambitious venture and is confident that commuters and passengers along the York-North Allerton line will be able to recognize the positive aspects that will come out of these transport improvement plans.
Indeed, the building and construction of new tracks and the improvement of the Skelton New Bridge’s own structure will enable the services along the line to run a speedier service than before that puts reliability and customer satisfaction at the top of its agenda.
