Project Overview

To reduce the journey time between Skipton and Carlisle, study was required to identify the areas where it is not viable proposition to assess whether the signalling is capable of supporting a 75mph line speed.

The Purpose of this scheme was to improve journey time between Skipton and Carlisle by increasing the line speed to 75mph in specific sections of the line which excludes the “Station limits” area.

Detailed review of complete section was conducted by Softech to evaluate options on the basis of Signal Sighting and Signal Spacing assessments which were carried out for the complete section as a pre-feasibility study with the help of sketches.
