Still hoping that Beaulieu Park railway station and Cambridge South railway station will open next year. And the ongoing electrification on the Midland Main Line and Wigan-Bolton line. Plus what about rebuilding the missing platform at Basildon and a new station building at Wickford in Essex.

Im enjoying all these updates on a weekly basis, but sadly i need to nit pick something from this update.
Why are Network rail issuing contracts to look after aspects of the network? Surely its cheaper to employ the staff yourself and have them stationed where you need, rather than spending money (like £1.3 billion) in out-source private firms to look after our public network? Wouldnt this save alot of money that can be invested in other areas of the network?
