Brigg Station

Submitted by David Wright

Name	Brigg Station
Distance	0.01 miles from DN20 8HU
Description	The stacked sleepers are probably awaiting use as part of the current upgrading of this line. "A joint programme to increase rail capacity for the carriage of seaborne freight from Hull Docks has been announced by Associated British Ports and Network Rail. Infrastructure on the docks branch line is to be improved to raise capacity from 10 to 22 trains in each direction per day, and on the Brigg line, south of the Humber, works will allow the movement of regular scheduled freight, mostly coal to the Cottam and West Burton power stations. The latter will be a shorter route than presently used, and with no bottleneck at Doncaster.." Modern Railways, vol.64, no.703. April 2007. p.16.
