This will fund power supply upgrades between Doncaster and Edinburgh, a new rail junction near Peterborough, a new platform at Stevenage Station and improvements to the track layout at King’s Cross Station. The upgrade at Peterborough will increase freight capacity between East Anglia and the north via the Great Northern and Great Eastern line. Passengers will benefit from two additional trains per hour between London and Doncaster and one additional train per hour between Doncaster and Newcastle.</p> more like this
