英国停止菲力斯杜至伯明翰地区的铁路双轨升级计划

UK shelves double-tracking upgrade from Felixstowe to Birmingham area

Hong Kong's Hutchison port at Felixstowe, the UK's biggest, has been denied an important double tracking railway upgrade to Nuneaton, 160 miles away outside Birmingham.

State-owned Network Rail, owner of British railway real estate, has stopped its plans, saying costs had increased significantly due to the complexity of the project, reported Lloyd's Loading List.

The project involved transforming the Ely-Soham rail line in Cambridgeshire from one track to two and removing a major bottleneck for trains between the Midlands and the Hutchison port.

英国停止菲力斯杜至伯明翰地区的铁路双轨升级计划

    作为英国最大港口，和记黄埔港口旗下的菲力斯杜港已经停止了一项重要的铁路双轨升级计划，该铁路通往纽尼顿，距离伯明翰160英里。

    劳氏装载清单显示，作为英国铁路房建者，国有铁路网已经停止其升级计划，声称由于工程复杂性太高，成本显著增加。

    该计划涉及将位于剑桥郡的Ely-Soham铁路轨道从单轨升级为双轨，并突破内陆地区和和记黄埔港之间的铁路运输主要瓶颈。
