Glasgow railway line to close for emergency repair work

Region & Route:

Scotland’s Railway: Scotland

Passengers are being advised to plan ahead if travelling through the Cathcart Circle.

Passengers are being advised to plan for disruption on the Cathcart Circle this weekend as emergency works begin.

Engineers will repair a boundary wall between Queens Park and Crosshill Stations from late on Saturday night into Monday morning after damage was found during a routine inspection.

ScotRail’s Glasgow Central to Newton and Neilston services will be diverted via Maxwell Park on Sunday, so may take longer than normal.

Work will be carried out to avoid further deterioration of the wall and to protect the safety of passengers.

Gary Hopkirk, Works Delivery Director, Network Rail Scotland, said: “During a routine inspection, we discovered a problem with a boundary wall between Queens Park and Crosshill stations.

“To avoid any further deterioration, we need to carry out repair work from late on Saturday night until Monday morning. While this work is essential, it is likely to cause some noise for residents on Dixon Avenue, we will do everything we can to minimise this.

“We thank passengers and lineside neighbours for their patience during this time.”
