Work is now complete on a £3m project to raise the platforms at Dunkeld and Birnam station, significantly improving accessibility and safety for passengers at the historic Perthshire stop.  

Railway 200, a campaign to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway, won the Outstanding Contribution to Tourism Award at VisitEngland Excellence Awards 2025.

Network Rail has teamed up with East Midlands Railway (EMR) to mark International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD) 2025 with a campaign promoting safer behaviour among pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.

A Worcestershire level crossing has seen less deliberate misuse and less anti-social behaviour following work to make it safer.

The final sections of the new footbridge at Darlington railway station have been successfully installed by Network Rail contractor BAM, connecting the historic Victorian station with the new eastern entrance and platforms as part of the ongoing £140m redevelopment project.

Part of the Far North Line will close this Sunday for three weeks to allow major upgrades to take place. 

The restoration and the extension of a nearby nature reserve planted with 18,000 trees, plants and shrubs will be the cornerstone of the new station’s environmental and biodiversity legacy. 

Efforts to improve safety at Broughty Ferry level crossing are being stepped up this week, as Network Rail and British Transport Police work together to raise awareness and encourage safe behaviour from both pedestrians and drivers.
