ScotRail is reminding customers in Carstairs, Carluke, Wishaw, and Motherwell to plan ahead and know their travel options during major improvement works at Carstairs, beginning this weekend.
No ScotRail services will operate between Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via Carstairs between Saturday, March 4, and Tuesday, May 30, while Network Rail work to modernise the layout of the Carstairs Junction, a key section of the West Coast Mainline linking Glasgow and Edinburgh to London.
The £164m overhaul will see the infrastructure operator work in three phases between March 4 and June 4 to simplify and upgrade the track-layout to clear an existing bottleneck on the network, making it more reliable and able to better cope with both passenger and freight demands.
