Rail passengers looking to travel between Edinburgh and Carlise during early March 2023 will face disruption as the West Coast main line is set to close for 16 days.
Network Rail have said that engineers will be carrying out an important upgrade of the Carstairs junction and the first phase of three-month long works will take place between March 4 and 19. This will lead to journeys being diverted and their length extended between the months of March and June.
This will disrupt services running from the capital and Glasgow to Carlisle. The work is understood to be part of a £164m investment from the Scottish government to try to modernise the important junction.
