}} }} The Selby diversion is a mainline railway in the United Kingdom, built as a new part of the East Coast Main Line (ECML) to avoid an area of potential subsidence over the Selby Coalfield. The line opened in 1983 running roughly northwards from a junction on the ECML near Temple Hirst south of Selby to a junction near Church Fenton south of York. As of 2015 the line is used primarily by long-distance north-south services, as well as some freight trains. Most freight rains have been diverted from the line by the opening of the North Doncaster Chord Project which was completed in June 2014. ==Description== From the northern end, the line runs off a junction with the southwesterly former York and North Midland Railway mainline from York south to Church Fenton and Brotherton; the line turns south, crossing the River Derwent. At the Leeds and Selby Line the line travels under the east-west railway, with junctions allowing trains from York to continue east to Selby, and trains from the south to continue west to Leeds (see Hambleton junction). The line then runs southeast to a junction with the former York and Doncaster Branch Line (Selby to Doncaster section), joining the line at a junction near to the village of Temple Hirst, just south of its crossing of the River Aire.〔Ordnance Survey 1:25000 2006; ''also'' Historic sheets 190, 205, 220, 221, 236〕 The line forms part of the East Coast Main Line (ECML), and part of section Network Rail's SRS (Strategic Route Section) G.07 track section (Colton junction-Doncaster) as line number LN600. The line is electrified at 25 kV AC using Mark 3b equipment, the route availability is 10, loading gauge is W9, and maximum permissible speed is . The line is signalled using multiple aspect signalling under Track Circuit Block regulations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selby Diversion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
