Metronet to electrify at least 4 km with 3rd and 4th rail for LU stock
testing...


"Old Dalby will also save 200 nights of testing the trains on the
Underground - time that Metronet will be able to use to carry out
maintenance and improve the track, as well as installing the
signalling that goes hand in hand with the upgrade."

Is this a positive spin off or have they leased the line so they can
catch up on work in the time that would otherwise be needed for train
testing?
