Unfortunately Bryan, it has to be single track as I believe there are a number of issues regarding this. One being cost of course and the fact that we have two bridge sections ready to go has saved a massive amount if cash. The embankment is also an issue due to the company Percy Sparks having land so close to the original site of the old embankment, and there is less width to play with resulting in a single track. With today's modern technology it will be possible to reinstate a much reduced width of embankment. So as far as I am aware this section will be always single track. Having said that at least the ambition to join up the two sections of the GCR is now on target for completion. It also gives access to the main line and that too is a real bonus.
All the best
