The transformation of one of Scotland’s most important railway stations, Glasgow Queen Street, has moved a step closer after a £112m tender was issued for its rebuild.

Engineers will be working around-the-clock on Scotland’s Railway this Christmas to deliver over £20m of key infrastructure upgrades.

Network Rail is seeking the public’s view on its Scotland Route Study – a long-term plan looking at how Scotland’s railway could evolve over the next three decades.

Network Rail chairman, Sir Peter Hendy, was given a rare treat during a recent visit to Scotland, when he visited the UK’s newest world heritage site,  The Forth Bridge.

Transport Minister Derek Mackay visited Glasgow Central station today (Monday, November 2) to help launch the ScotRail Alliance’s winter roadshow for passengers and view a specialist snow clearing train.

Bike to train connections in Edinburgh will become simpler from today (Thursday, October 29) as Waverley station opens a new bike lane into the heart of the concourse.

The Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP) reached another key milestone last night (October 27) when the first 1.5km overhead power cables were run out on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow route.

Network Rail will shortly begin mining remediation work at Falkirk High Station in preparation for the extension of the station’s platforms.
