Hitchin Rail Flyover Main Span

Hitchin Rail Improvement as Main Span Positioned in New Rail Flyover

A Hertfordshire rail bottleneck is now well on the way to being removed, thanks to the Coalition Governments infrastructure investment programme. Currently trains for Cambridge and Ely have to cross the East Coast Main Line on the same level just after Hitchin station. This blocks both fast tracks temporarily every time a train turns off to Cambridge, with speed restrictions over the crossing and obvious timetabling problems.

Moor End Road Bus Lane Payback Begins

After months of prevarication and indecision Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) has finally announced the pay back of penalties wrongly issued in respect of the defective Moor End Road Bus Lane scheme. Letters are being sent out to people who payed the penalties asking them either to apply for the refund of the money or to authorise HCC to pay the money instead to charity. The charity selected is a local one, the important and much appreciated Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted. In my view HCC could really not have made a better choice. The hospice will benefit from all the penalty money where motorists cannot now be traced, or who do not send in an application for refund. The hospice will of course also benefit when motorists voluntarily decide to authorise HCC to pass their refund on.
