By GlobalDataNetwork Rail CEO Andrew Haines said: “The majority of the railway will be open as usual this Easter for people to take a short break or visit loved ones, but some routes will be affected by our upgrade works, so we’re asking passengers to plan ahead and check their journeys in advance.
“We’ll be carrying out hundreds of vital projects that will improve passengers’ journeys in future – for example by improving reliability and boosting capacity on the network.”
Recently, Network Rail began the construction of the Levenmouth Rail Link following Transport Scotland’s green light for the $154.11m (£116.6m) project.
