A £9.2 million project is to get underway on September 14 to deliver vital improvement works to the railway line between Edinburgh and Newcastle.
The work will see Network Rail engineers install just over five miles of new railway track at several locations between Edinburgh and Berwick, whilst also improving over a mile of drainage at Drem.
Once complete, Network Rail said that East Coast Main Line passengers will benefit from smoother and more reliable journeys.
Ross Moran, route director at Network Rail Scotland, said, “Renewing the track on the East Coast Main Line will improve reliability and performance on this busy cross-border route, delivering smoother journeys for passengers.
“We know there’s never a good time to close a railway and we’re grateful to passengers and our neighbours for their patience.
“Our engineers will work around the clock over these three weekends to complete these projects quickly, with as little disruption as possible.”
