Two more prepped-and-ready track panels are also sitting trackside between Broadway St and Albion St in Wakefield.How direct/indirect might the connection be? These are both places with double-track stick-rail. Are the new panels a prelude to new CWR or something to tie in with ARRA double tracking?
I realize these aren't directly related to the topical project, but it seems the most fitting thread....
How much will having to slow down as they go through all those stations inside 128 affect their OT performance?Why would they have to slow down? Trains can pass platforms at speed.

This Ash St interlocking has been years in the making, and has been delayed month after month as limited resources (the signal design team) keeps being redirected to other areas.
