Property developments stay on track!

February 13, 2010

In considering commercial and residential developments with a railway connection, it is soon apparent that there is a wide range of railway connected developments that have taken place, and are still taking place. A small development can be just a new build house, or old railway station conversion to either a home/s or a business building. Such small developments can be, and have been progressed on closed (disused) railway branch lines, or even on an existing operational active railway line where a railway building, or small or large sized plot of land is sold, or it could be a redundant level crossing keeper?s house which is no longer required for railway purposes because the level crossing is now an unmanned automated level crossing.
A medium sized development with a railway connection can be a residential development such as the one built at York on the site of the former railway Carriage Works (Train Building Factory).
A very major building/railway development can be something like St. Pancras Railway Station in North London. This was a major development when the station was first built, as it is said to have taken 60 million bricks to build before the first ever train could leave in October, 1868, let alone the recent extremely large development making St.Pancras a major international travel facility of which more is referred to below.
The relatively recent major conversion of St. Pancras to ?International? status is very good news for the Midlands and Yorkshire as not only does this railway station continue to serve Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, and Sheffield, and other intermediate locations with its inter-city services, and with local passenger trains providing various connections to many other locations, but also now provides a fast Eurostar train service to Europe. This makes those locations mentioned above, and surrounding locations, extremely attractive areas to live and work and conduct business from which consequentially is likely to cause increasing demand on housing and business developments in the Midlands.
