Barnhill Signal Box
Starting in March 2022, this initial phase involved track work east of Perth station at Barnhill, historically a constrained section of the route next to the River Tay.
Working with contractor the Rail Systems Alliance, Network Rail undertook a nine-month programme of alignment work to replace a curved section of track by installing a new single line and also remodelling the junction by replacing switches and crossings. This allows an increase in line speed for trains from 20mph to 50mph on this part of the route
Speeding up journey times also improves capacity for more freight services to be introduced to the network.
