A £3.8 million project to deliver track improvements at Aberdeen Railway Station is to get underway at the end of January.
Network Rail teams will replace sections of rail, sleepers, and ballast across platforms 3, 4, 6, and 7 at the station – with engineers also upgrading equipment that enables trains to move between lines.
In total, almost a mile-and-a-half of rail will be renewed, with around 1,500 new sleepers and 4,500 tonnes of ballast used.
Ross Moran, route director at Network Rail Scotland, said, “Carrying out this work over a small number of weekends lets us make substantial improvements while keeping disruption to a minimum. By renewing key sections at the station, we’re building in resilience that will support more reliable and smoother journeys.
“I’d like to thank customers for their patience while we complete this essential upgrade. Our teams will be working intensively throughout each weekend to reopen the station on time for customers.”
