How long is that new embankment for the Nuneaton North Chord? Oh, about the same as a 9-coach Pendolino. Scene on 17 March 2012 with the ballast-filled soakaway on the left, and the wooden level posts on top, giving an impression of progress - just as well, as the entire project is due to be finished in July see image 36137. Note the sharp ramp up to the soon-to-be-demolished bridge over the WCML adjacent to the power car on the left.
