Engineers have successfully completed the first phase of repair work to Redbridge Viaduct in the Scottish Borders, as part of Network Rail’s on-going commitment to maintain a safe and reliable railway.

Railway customers in parts of South West London are advised to check before travelling this summer as Network Rail starts an upgrade of the railway around Twickenham to improve reliability.

Essential track works in the Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire areas have been completed to keep rail services running safely and reliably for passengers across the region.

Work is underway on a project to build a new accessible footbridge over the railway at Suggitt’s Lane in Cleethorpes.

Work to upgrade the railway through Craven Arms, Shropshire will see the town’s level crossing temporarily closed for two months.

• Work begins to reintroduce a regular rail passenger service between Ashington and Newcastle
• Project involves upgrading track and signalling, opening six new stations and three new footbridges
• Aims to support communities, economic growth and regeneration in Northumberland and surrounding areas

Following 30 flood closures in the last decade, this innovative £3.6m project will reduce disruption and improve passengers’ journeys on the Cambrian Line 

Passengers are being advised about emergency lift repairs at Old Roan station on Merseyside.
