Less than 2 months now to meet the 'summer 2024' promise for the rest of the route, and with no announcement of date (and no route learning yet AFAIK?) it seems increasingly unlikely.

September is the date that's been thrown around lately for the opening. The new bridge at Newsham is what's delaying the driver training though, as the level crossing needs to be shut before they can reopen the line since it's not compatable with the new signalling (for obvious reasons).

There's paths booked for next monday though (bridge opens tomorrow) - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/...59?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=NT

Whether it happens, who knows.
