A KEY train line is set to close for 16 days while £16.5 million worth of upgrades are carried out at a train station in a bid to reduce delays for passengers travelling between Glasgow, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
Starting this weekend, over the next 16 days, Network Rail engineers will install 5.5km of new rail, 3200 sleepers and 7500 tonnes of ballast, the stone that supports the track, as they upgrade the track at Kilmarnock station.
