At a cost of £284 million, the scheme comprised the connection of former suburban rail alignments with new railway construction in tunnel under central Newcastle and over the Tyne. Further extensions to the system were opened to Newcastle Airport in 1991 and to Sunderland, sharing 14 km of existing Network Rail track, in March 2002.

D. Fernández-Gutiérrez (*), H. Pérez-Acebo (**), D. Mulone-Andere (***) RESUMEN Desde el siglo XX se han propuesto varios sistemas de clasificación del macizo rocoso. Entre ellos destacan el sistemaRMR de Bieniawski y el sistema Q de Barton, que son las clasificaciones más empleadas en todo el mundo. Se han propuesto nu- merosas relaciones entre ambos índices, que normalmente tienen gran dispersión de datos. Sin embargo, se ha observado que las correlaciones establecidas para litologías específicas son más precisas. El objetivo de este artículo es proponer una correlación entre el índice RMR y Q para formaciones sedimentarias de grano fino, habituales en la zona de Bilbao (Espa- ña), mediante los datos recopilados in situ durante la excavación del túnel Etxebarri-Casco Viejo de la línea 3 del Ferro- carril Metropolitano de Bilbao. La ecuación obtenida muestra un alto grado de correlación y se ha propuesto una relación única entre los dos sistemas de clasificación, que no depende de la variable independiente escogida. Palabras clave: índice RMR; índice Q; clasificación del macizo rocoso; excavación de túneles; geomecánica; roca sedi- mentaria. ABSTRACT From the XX century, various rock mass classification systems have been proposed. Among them, the Bieniawski’sRMR system and Barton’s Q system have emerged as the most used rock mass classification worldwide.
