Progress continues at pace on accessibility upgrades at Hertford North, helping to make the station more inclusive and welcoming.

Network Rail’s new training facility in Doncaster is already making a difference in helping apprentices develop the skills needed to maintain, improve and future-proof Britain’s railway.

Major improvement work on the East Coast Main Line will affect passenger services across four weekends in March.

Trains between London and Peterborough/King's Lynn will be affected over the next four weekends by engineering work including further progress on digital signalling, passengers are reminded.

Accessibility upgrades have been officially opened at Biggleswade to make the station more inclusive and welcoming for all.

Further digital signalling progress will be among various planned railway upgrades taking place over four consecutive weekends – affecting passenger journeys south of Peterborough towards London.
