RAIL passengers are being warned to expect disruption on routes from Glasgow Central as the final phase of a £100million signalling project gets underway.

Lines from Rutherglen to Glasgow Central will be affected from tomorrow until July 31 as work progresses at the Rutherglen East Junction.

The project will renew and upgrade the track and overhead line equipment systems within the area and on the West Coast Mainline.

|Network Rail said that due to the complex nature of the work, amended timetables will be in operation on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Some journeys will be diverted and buses will replace trains for all or part of some journeys and customers are being advised to check with their train operators in advance.

David Dickson, Network Rail’s infrastructure director, said: “I’m sorry for the short-term disruption that this work will cause, but the long-term improvements which will be delivered will be hugely significant for services across a range of routes which will benefit thousands of passengers every day.

“We are working closely with the various train operators to ensure passengers are able to get to where they need to be during this period but It is really important that you plan ahead checking your journey details over the coming weeks to ensure you get the right information.”
