<p>The East Coast Main Line has always reduced to two tracks at Northallerton where
a line branches off towards Eaglescliffe. The East Coast Main Line Enhancement Programme
will maximise the capacity available from the two tracks that continue to run north
of Northallerton. Building on that starting point, the Northern Powerhouse Rail Strategic
Outline Business Case presents proposals to increase track capacity to Newcastle.
The Department is working with Transport for the North to refine these proposals and
identify a single preferred concept.</p><p> </p>
