By GlobalDataNetwork Rail chief executive Andrew Haines said: “While the majority of our network will be open for business as usual, we’re asking passengers who are planning to use the railway over the Early May Bank Holiday to check their journey in advance.
“Teams across Network Rail will be delivering £70m worth of upgrades, helping to make the railway more reliable and fit for the future.
“A big thanks to those teams who will be working long hours or late into the night in order to get this work done swiftly and safely, while minimising the impact on our lineside neighbours.”
Last week, Network Rail announced 530 upgrade projects across the railway network with an investment of around £83m.
