Network Rail<\/a> will complete various projects between Saturday 30 March and Monday 1 April to make the railway infrastructure and services more reliable.<\/p>\nWhile most of the work won\u2019t cause any disruption to those travelling by train over the bank holiday, passengers are being advised to plan ahead for some disruption.<\/p>\n
On the West Coast Main Line engineers will be renewing the track throughout Saturday 30 March and Sunday 31 March between Shieldmuir Junction and Motherwell.<\/p>\n
Work will also take place between Rutherglen and Glasgow Central throughout Saturday 30 March, Sunday 31 March and Monday 1 April to renew points, switches and crossings which allow trains to cross from one track to another.<\/p>\n
During the work, some Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, LNER, Caledonian Sleeper and ScotRail services will be affected, and passengers should check with their train operator before travelling.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the bridge over the railway on Shields Road in Glasgow will be demolished, though passenger services won\u2019t be affected.<\/p>\n
Liam Sumpter, route director, Network Rail Scotland said: \u201cI\u2019m pleased that most of Scotland\u2019s Railway network will remain open during the Easter bank holiday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know how important Easter is for families and friends to catch up and, while there\u2019s never a good time to do the work we need to do, the bank holiday is a time when fewer people travel, giving us the opportunity to do work we couldn\u2019t do on a normal weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thanks go to passengers, freight users and our lineside neighbours for their patience during these works.\u201d<\/p>\n
For full details of engineering works this Easter, passengers are advised to check their journeys with their operators or at National Rail.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
