Manors ECS Curve
From Tyne and Wear Metro wiki
(Redirected from Jesmond Junction)
The Manors ECS (Empty Coaching Stock) Curve refers to a stretch of track that links Manors station to West Jesmond station, allowing for services to quickly make their way back to Gosforth Depot without having to return around the Coast. Some morning and evening services use the Manors ECS curve to start or end service.
It’s an incredibly steep curve and requires trains to travel slow around it. According to a driver it is one of the steepest curves of track in Britain.
