Episode Details

The Transpennine Route Upgrade just hit a major milestone with the installation of the final beams on the colossal Baker Viaduct — a 300-meter, 2,400-ton engineering marvel set to slash travel times and boost reliability for northern rail travelers. Part of the massive Ravensthorpe site overhaul, this viaduct enables faster trains to overtake slower ones, while earthworks and embankments continue to take shape. Project leaders confirm everything’s on track and under budget, with a brand-new Ravensthorpe station — complete with elevators, extended platforms, and drop-off zones — slated to open in 2028. Plus, new overhead lines will power greener electric trains. This is serious progress toward a faster, more dependable rail future.
