Network Rail’s bridge replacement project in Broxbourne is moving closer to completion.

Update May 2023. Following feedback outlining some concerns from the local community regarding the approach set out in the mural project competition, we have taken the decision to end this competition at this time and carry out a review of the project as a whole to address these concerns and ensure we get the right outcome for everyone. We will therefore end this process while the review takes place and will look at re-launching the competition later on in the year.

Network Rail has planted a new 100m hedgerow in a local park, improving biodiversity by providing an ideal habitat for animals, birds and insects.

Engineers are preparing for a package of works later in the spring that will help drive down delays on the lines that run between Norwich - Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Sheringham.

Passengers travelling to/from Peterborough, Kings Lynn, Norwich and Bury St Edmunds via Cambridge are advised to check before they travel as Network Rail will carry out essential engineering work this Easter.

Passengers travelling between Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester and London via Marks Tey/Braintree and Ingatestone over Easter are advised to check before they travel, as Network Rail will carry out essential engineering work on Sunday 9 April and Monday 10 April.

From this Saturday 25 March to Thursday 6 April, Network Rail will be working to stabilise and widen a mile-long embankment on the railway to the north of Martlesham, on the East Suffolk Line.

Residents are being urged to keep garden objects tied down and away from the railway after a flying gazebo caused 60 trains to be delayed or cancelled on Friday.
