Kirk Hill bridge work is on schedule, roads are due to re-open in July, work completes in Sept. This means larger freight containers can use a more direct path and ensures the area is ready for electrification if funding resumes. Our video shows how the work is progressing.👇

Our second in four weekends of multi-million pound work in the Bedfordshire area was completed successfully and safely. We upgraded 300m of track around St Albans to help improve the reliability of the railway and we continued our work to help make Luton station more accessible.
