Network Rail is about to begin the next phase of the redevelopment of Glasgow Queen street with the installation of the new glass façade at the West George Street side of the station.

Network Rail is advising passengers intending to use the West Coast Main Line to ‘check before they travel’ as a multi-million-pound upgrade of a major railway junction near Warrington begins this weekend.

Engineers will be delivering upgrade works on the line between Kilmarnock and Carlisle from Saturday, July 13, to Thursday, July 25.

Engineers across Scotland’s Railway are preparing to deal with the hot weather and keep passengers moving if temperatures soar in the days ahead.

Network Rail has reached a significant milestone in the delivery of step-free access at Kilwinning station with the installation of the final section of steelwork on the new footbridge.

Passengers are being reminded that platforms 2 and 3 at Glasgow Queen Street station will be closed during July while engineers work to extend the tracks for longer, greener electric trains.

Passengers at Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley have helped save almost 100,000 plastic bottles by using the stations’ refill points.

More than 95 percent of the demolition material produced during the redevelopment of Glasgow Queen Street station has been recycled.
