Passengers are set to benefit following major upgrades to the region’s rail network over the early May bank holiday, as all of the projects across Anglia were delivered on time. 

Passengers are set to reap the benefits following major upgrades to the region’s rail network over Easter. All projects were delivered on time. 

With Easter just over a week away, and the early May bank holiday fast approaching, Network Rail is reminding passengers to check their plans if they’re travelling across East London, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk as it carries out a package of upgrades.

Four level crossings on the Felixstowe branch line will be upgraded to make crossing the railway safer as part of a £60.4m project to increase capacity.

Work to upgrade the Norwich, Yarmouth and Lowestoft railway in Anglia moved forward last week as the fourth phase of re-signalling works were completed during a nine-day suspension of rail services on the Wherry lines.

The public toilets at one of the busiest railway stations in the country are free to use from today. This fulfils Network Rail’s commitment to make toilets ‘free to pee’ in all its 19 managed stations.

Network Rail Anglia has published its business plan for the five years to March 2024 with over £2.2bn planned investment for operating, maintaining and renewing the railway.

A £10m booster fund has been announced by Network Rail’s Anglia route as part of its commitment to improve punctuality for passengers.
