Welwyn North station, with Up train, ECML 1992
View northward from footbridge, towards Hitchin and the North: ex-GNR London - Doncaster section of the East Coast Main Line. This is a very busy section needing widening, but which has to remain two-track only because of the expense of the widening the Welwyn Viaduct and two Tunnels. Electrification King's Cross - Hitchin dates from 1976 and the local train approaching is a Class 317 EMU.

Welwyn North railway station (3)
The footbridge with its fine metal latticework is a Grade II listed structure, but the view of it is ruined by the addition of the metal security screen, the untidy stringing of a cable duct across it, and the modern lamps, not to mention the overhead track electrification cables strung underneath it. The whole structure, on this side at least, is painted in a uniform battleship grey. There is a dilemma here. Network Rail need to maintain a working environment that is safe for both railway passengers and staff and which is efficiently engineered whilst having a duty of care for the infrastructure of historical merit that they have inherited from the railway operating companies in the past. How do they achieve that? Discuss!
