Network Rail is returning Victoria Sidings, Trowse, near Norwich on the right to operational condition. They are to be used for storing vehicles leased by Greater Anglia when new trains are delivered. GA must retain stock until the end of its lease period as a contingency. Last used in the early-1990s, the sidings are located next to the Great Eastern Main Lne. As well as track clearance, a new point motor has being installed. The point into the sidings is on the Down Main, while the Ely line is on the left.

That could be used for Network Rail maintenance vehicles when Network Rail are improving the London-Norwich Main Line and the Norwich-Ely-Peterborough Line that isn’t electrified. Which the junction itself could be upgraded with the Ely line to have a extra track being laid as part of the upgrade.
