We’re delivering major upgrades of stations and infrastructure on the Great Eastern Main Line for the Stage One Phased Opening of the Crossrail Project. The new infrastructure soon welcome brand new, air conditioned trains which will start to roll into service between London Liverpool Street station and Shenfield station in May 2017.

🛤️ Ballast, the stones beneath the track, helps to keep the track in place as trains pass over it. It wears down over time, becoming more rounded and less effective – this is where our ballast cleaning system comes in. ➡️ www.networkrail.co.uk/high-output-machines Ballast cleaning removes the worn ballast, screens it and replaces it with new angular ballast. #railway #machines | Network Rail
