Nice video, I pass across the bridge most days so it’s interesting to see it from a different angle. I still can’t fathom the logic of slewing the lines across to slot the station in. The original alignment was a set up for high speed running, it would have made more sense to build the station to the north of these and leave the alignment alone. Fast trains could bypass the station.

Thanks for watching, if you look at around the 2 minute mark it appears that the original line is being moved a few feet nearer to the road, maybe this will become a high speed pass through. On the next update I'll take the drone further along the tracks to see if/how the roadside section is connecting to the other line(s).

@@rods-stuff The line nearest the road is the rough alignment of the up line, it was so close to the road you couldn’t have squeezed a platform between the road and the track. The down line was parallel roughly where the island platform is. They have realigned the tracks to run through the station and are now reinstating the line near the road

Cool, I was making my assumption from the view in the video, unfortunately, I wasn't in the area for about 10 years and the work began before I moved back. Imagine my surprise when driving along Essex Regiment Way from the Braintree/Dunmow end when I saw the road sign for the A131 & A12 going off to the left by the McDonalds/Costa roundabout

Thx for this. I am baffled as to why Beaulieu Park station only has three platforms. The new Cambridge south station being built simultaneously, has fewer projected passengers, yet has four platforms and won't get anywhere near as much freight pass through it as Beaulieu Park. Maybe there is passive provision for more capacity in the design?

I'm not a railway engineer or planner, so I don't know their thinking behind it, although I'm sure they have reasons for the decision.

Back in 1979 I started to commute from Witham to Chelmsford by train.I was told then there was going to be a new station at Springfield.

The information on Network Rail's website does say that it has been in the pipeline for around 40 years with it finally being due to open at the end of next year. Between now and then I will hopefully be able to keep the updates coming, especially towards the latter end of the project when things always appear to change more rapidly.
