Passengers across North Wales and West Wales will benefit from an uplift in rail services as Transport for Wales (TfW) prepares to introduce a new timetable from Sunday 17 May

Level crossings on the East Suffolk line are being upgraded with new crossing technology that will make them safer for all road users, walkers and farmers ahead of the expected increase in rail freight for Sizewell C.

Organisations from across Scotland have come together to sign up to a new agreement aimed at improving safety for walkers, cyclists and other non-vehicle users at private level crossings. 

Passengers at Horton-in-Ribblesdale station will now benefit from step-free access to both platforms after a major accessibility and safety upgrade.

Network Rail and South Western Railway (SWR) are continuing their investment in the Portsmouth Direct Line with the next phase of signalling and track upgrades taking place from Monday 25 May to Friday 29 May.

Passengers are advised to plan ahead as Network Rail carry out major upgrade in the Severn Tunnel and Bristol area, with replacement buses and diversionary routes in place to keep people moving from late May to early June.

Network Rail is continuing to carry out a range of safety, monitoring and education work during the emergency closure of Sportsfield level crossing at Featherstone, following a sustained period of serious safety concerns.

A major milestone towards improving the accessibility of Hither Green station for Southeastern passengers has been achieved.
