A busy train station will see the closure of its car park for four days this month.

Uddingston Station's car park will be closed from 12.01am on Thursday, March 21 until 11.59pm on Sunday, March 24. 

The closure comes to allow for the safe delivery of construction works - which will see engineers safely crane 75-tonnes of steel structure to allow for a new footbridge and lift tower. 

The work is part of the Access for All programme to improve accessibility at stations across Scotland’s Railway.

A pedestrian walking route will remain available throughout the closure and all temporary changes will be signposted well in advance and during the closure of the works. 

Station users should ensure their vehicle is removed from the car park before the closure on Wednesday, March 20.

Susan Menmuir, scheme project manager for Uddingston AfA, said: “We’ve made great progress on the project to improve accessibility at Uddingston but we appreciate that in delivering this vital project we rely on the patience of the communities who live near and use the station.

“The total weight of the whole structure is 75-tonnes with the largest component, the bridge deck,  weighing approximately 15-tonnes. Our teams will be using use a 230-tonne crane and a 60-tonne crane to lift this superstructure

"Closing the car park is the safest and most efficient way of bringing it onto the platform.  However, we understand it will be an inconvenience for commuters and we thank them for their understanding.”
