By Anthony at GridteamAI

Network Rail has renewed 300 metres of drainage at Chapman's Bridge near Shipton, North Yorkshire, working over two weekends in late October and early November. The East Coast route has more than 35,000 drainage assets and a £19.3 million budget for drainage renewals and maintenance over the five years to 2029. The same closures also delivered new track, point upgrades and overhead line work between Colton Junction and Skelton Junction via York.
