Stirling’s fully-accessible footbridge and lifts have opened for passengers.

Network Rail engineers will be delivering upgrade and refurbishment works on the West Highland Line this October.

Engineers will be renewing the track through a key Edinburgh rail tunnel next month in a £1m investment in Scotland’s railway.

Network Rail is advising passengers that platforms 4 and 5 at Glasgow Queen Street will close from mid-September to mid-October, as engineers deliver the final phase of platform extension work as part of the station’s multi-million-pound redevelopment.

Kilwinning station’s new, fully-accessible footbridge and lifts are now open for passengers.

Ahead of work to cut back trees and vegetation on the railway between East Kilbride and Glasgow, Network Rail is inviting local people to ‘drop-in’ to find out more about the work.

The railway between Aberdeen and Huntly will reopened as planned tomorrow morning (Tuesday, August 20) following the successful completion of a 15-week-long project to upgrade the line.

Following earlier than anticipated completion of the work to repair damage from recent flooding, Network Rail has announced that the West Highland Line will fully re-open for start of service on Monday, August 19.
