GB Railfreight works on King’s Cross upgrade

2 Class 66's at King's Cross

Delivering more than light logistics and parcels to the platforms at King’s Cross, GB Railfreight provided some weekend specials at the historic London terminal. The workings are all part of the huge enhancement project at the station, and all the way up the East Coast Main Line, which King’s Cross serves. The renewals and improvements, which are part of Network Rail’s biggest ongoing project, will deliver a rationalised track layout at the station, increase the number of approach tracks, and enhance capacity on the main line, providing more paths for semi-fast regional passenger trains and crucially free up paths for freight.
