CUMBRIAN rail passengers are set to benefit from a significant investment into the West Coast Main Line.
Network Rail have announced £31 million of upgrades will be carried out this Easter to improve future passenger and freight journeys on the route.
Tim Shoveller, managing director for Network Rail’s North West & Central region, said: “Our work will make the West Coast main line more reliable for our passengers and pave the way for HS2, which will bring much-needed extra railway capacity.
“We’re working with the industry to minimise disruption to passengers as much as possible.
“We’re letting people know in advance so none of this comes as a surprise and passengers can stay on the move while we do this vital work.”
