Rail travellers are advised to check before they travel as the latest stage of the Great North Rail Project takes place.

A multimedia campaign has been launched to spread an important railway safety message as work continues to electrify the Midland Main Line between Kettering, Corby and Bedford.

The next phase of work to upgrade the signalling system on the Norwich, Yarmouth and Lowestoft railway lines begins on Saturday 10 February as part of a £68million investment.

Suffolk Coastal MP Thérèse Coffey has reiterated the importance of using level crossings safely, after a teenage girl was nearly hit by a train at Halesworth.

The major upgrade of the line between Kettering and Corby reaches the next stage in February as testing begins on the newly fitted equipment.

Motorists are putting their lives and others at risk as they fail to stop at the red lights at Chettisham level crossing on Lynn Road in Ely.

Passengers travelling between Norwich and Ipswich are urged to check before they travel this evening after large trees fell on to the overhead wires at Tivetshall between Norwich and Diss, also damaging the structures that carry them.

Pedestrians and cyclists who cross the railway at Slipe Lane, Broxbourne, will be able to do so more safely following the installation of a new footbridge as part of a £4m Network Rail project.
