An eastward view reveals some of the later works. On the far right is the Kent Coast domestic line, in its newly

slewed position. The single-track alongside this is the ''up'' CTRL line, whilst on the left of the central partition

is the original double-track of 1994, where the changeover between third rail and overhead wires occur. Beyond

this is, naturally, the yard. David Glasspool

The CTRL avoids a flat junction with the domestic line, eliminating any conflict of movement between the two

types of service. This westward view shows the ''up'' line ascending, with the double-track Kent Coast line

swerving underneath. The ''down'' line is positioned on the opposite side of the yard and, in fact, can just be

seen ascending in the background. David Glasspool

Bound for France: a Class 56 and Class 58 are seen paired in the yard, waiting to be dragged through the Channel

Tunnel. On the continent, they will fulfil a new role of hauling infrastructure trains during the construction of new

French high-speed lines. David Glasspool
