Network Rail has completed a £3.5 million project to refurbish Awe viaduct near Taynuilt on the Oban branch of the West Highland Line.

Network Rail is inviting residents to learn more about progress on its multi-million-pound programme to upgrade the railway and Oxford station in a series of public events in the city.

From Friday 28 February until Monday 7 April, Whitacre Street in Deighton will be closed to vehicles as TRU engineers deliver upgrades.

A new teacher and parent toolkit has been launched to inspire more young people to consider a career in the railway. It’s been developed as part of a national campaign, called Railway 200, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the modern railway, and is believed to be the biggest educational resource in the rail industry.

A public information event will be held on Wednesday 26 February at Abergele Town Council offices to present proposals for enhancing safety by closing both Pen Uchaf and Ty Gwyn footpath crossings in Pensarn and replacing them with a ramped footbridge over the railway. 

This Saturday marks one month to go until the start of critical railway upgrades between Staines and Windsor.

Police investigating trespassing which caused severe disruption – affecting thousands of passengers' journeys – have issued this CCTV image.

A man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after trespassing on one of the country’s busiest railway lines and causing hundreds of South Western Railway (SWR) services to be delayed or cancelled.
