Passengers in the Clacton-on-Sea area will benefit from a significant upgrade in reliability and safety when a computer-based signalling system goes live as Network Rail continues major upgrade work.
The new computer-based signalling system will control the movement of trains more effectively and provide better live passenger information.
This will replace the current system which uses mechanical levers and pulleys to change signals and track points, to allow trains to switch between tracks. The new system will be controlled from a powered signal box at Colchester.

Road transport is being provided by Lakeside, Williams, Wheadon's and Watts Coaches.

What happened?
On Wednesday 26 August, a freight train transporting diesel fuel derailed and caught fire in the Llangennech area. The remaining diesel from the wagons has been removed and the damaged wagons have all been removed from site by road. Network Rail are now repairing damage to the rail infrastructure. Regular updates from Network Rail can be found here and a short video can also be viewed here.
Also in August 2020, extreme weather resulted in damage to the railway in various locations between Llandrindod and Craven Arms. Repairs on this section of the line were completed in November 2020 and trains are able to run again between Llandrindod and Shrewsbury.
