Overview
This notice describes the work to bring into use the new junction connection to 'Swindon Distribution Centre' (South Marston Euroterminal). It was previously planned to take place on 7 and 14 February 2000, as described in GWS.15, but, due to 'construction difficulties' the work did not take place then.
The only differences between the first plan to bring this junction into use in February 2000 and this plan are:
As the point fittings had been installed (but not commissioned) in the 2000 work, controlled signals were needed to protect them. So UM.75 had been converted to controlled signal SN.81 and DM.73 had been converted to a controlled signal temporarily numbered SN.998, advertised by WON entry, shortly after the aborted 2000 work.
As part of this 2002 scheme the points were brought into use.
Also, a new signal was programmed for to the Goods Reception Line, SN.897, in rear of (and in addition to) the previously advertised SN.899. SN.897 is sited at the end of the Goods Reception, by the gates into the Euroterminal. It is back-to-back with a stop board for movements into the terminal. (The stop board is 44 SLUs (310 yards) from SN.899.) The stop board is fitted with a white light operated by the PiC in the terminal that authorises trains to proceed. The line rises towards the Euroterminal on a 1:250 gradient.
The new layout was planned to be brought into use on 11 and 18 January 2002.
