The work involved lowering track and reconstruction of bridges along the route. [20] The SRA intended to go on to clear the route to W12 gauge to accommodate wider containers on European intermodal units, and to work to increase capacity to 30–40 trains per day in each direction by 2010 to cater for the expected growth in traffic.

Route Availability (RA) is the system by which the permanent way and supporting works (bridges, embankments, etc.) of the railway network of Great Britain are graded. All routes are allocated an RA number between 1 and 10. Rolling stock is also allocated an RA (again between 1 and 10) and the RA of a train is the highest RA of any of its ...
The sizes of the RA series are also slightly larger than corresponding inch-based US sizes specified in ANSI/ASME Y14.1, e.g. RA4 is roughly equivalent to 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 12 in (220 mm × 300 mm) and ANSI A (alias US Letter) is defined as 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 11 in (220 mm × 280 mm).

Within these plans the rail network is divided into ten “devolved routes” or “operational routes”, with a Route Plan for each being published annually. [97] Each route or other plan covers a number of railway lines usually defined by geographical area and the routes are further subdivided into 17 “strategic routes”, each divided ...
Three types of routes are acceptable: direct trains, shortest route, or mapped routes. The first two are simple and outlined above. Almost the whole of the routeing guide is taken up with specifying the third for the entire country. Principle. The UK rail network has stations which are deemed routeing points. These are principal stations, or ...
Route assignment, route choice, or traffic assignment concerns the selection of routes (alternatively called paths) between origins and destinations in transportation networks. It is the fourth step in the conventional transportation forecasting model, following trip generation , trip distribution , and mode choice .
Before the implementation of alpha-numeric route markers, controlled-access highways were marked with a Metroad, National Highway, National Route or State Route Marker. In Sydney , Metroad route markers were used for motorways and freeways, except the Pacific Motorway (then F3 Freeway), which was marked with a National Highway marker.
