The final plans to build a £5.2m new station to serve Energlyn and Churchill Park will be unveiled on Wednesday, 10 April at a public exhibition.

Life-size railway track, rail inspection helicopter presentations and apprentices talking about their work experience will all be part of an open evening for parents and young people hosted by Network Rail as part of its partnership with UTC Reading – a new University Technical College specialising in computer science and engineering for 14-19 year olds, opening this September.

Work on a £48m project to replace the Loughor Viaduct near Swansea and redouble a 5.25-mile stretch of railway through Gowerton is close to completion.

Ardent railway enthusiast Archie Swell will be bursting with pride today (1.30pm, Thursday, 4 April).

Passengers in Reading are being asked to prepare themselves for 10 days of changes to train services as their new station arrives this Easter.
