Along with a few crossing loops, it enabled much longer trains to use the line.

This will enable additional trains to terminate there, instead of at Campbelltown.

It shortened the route by only 11 miles, but enabled trains to travel at speeds approaching 100 miles an hour.

This enables loco-hauled trains and gives operational flexibility, enabling increased service frequency.

A major objective of this phase was to enable 12-carriage trains to run on the Bedford-Brighton route.

City Thameslink station has been upgraded to enable 12-car trains to call.

It enabled trains to safely increase both loads and speed.

Usually no signals were installed, the low speeds enabling trains to be driven by sight.

The station has a track crossover, to the west of the platforms, enabling trains to terminate there and return to service in the opposite direction.

This is a way in which the Union can benefit the railways, enabling trains to move freely across the European network.
