Lichfield
Trent Valley Four Tracking
McCulloch Rail recently played a major role in one of Network Rail's largest sites, the Trent Valley Four Tracking project. The site was managed by First Engineering and extended from Tamworth on the West Coast Main line north westwards to Armitage with Handsacre. The site was completed in 2008.
The £350 million project will provide two additional tracks for a distance of twelve miles between Tamworth and Armitage with Handsacre Junction.
The aim of the four-tracking work is to increase route capacity in an area which has become a bottleneck. McCulloch Rail were very proud to have been involved in the project, which saw them pulling the new rail on to the site before installing the new rail into its final position.
