The project has reached a major milestone with the formal acquisition of the former Nant Helen opencast.
The Nant Helen surface mine site will include an electrified high-speed outer rail testing track (6.9km) with testing speeds of up to 110mph (177kmh) and an electrified low-speed infrastructure testing track (4.5km) allowing speeds of up to 40mph (64kmh). It will also include a dual platform station environment and 25kv overhead line equipment (OLE) infrastructure.
