[box type=”info” ]More line closures are planned for April and May. The works are part of Network Rail’s £250 million Stafford Area Improvements Programme, which will see the removal of the last remaining bottleneck that causes delays on the West Coast Main Line. The series of improvement works sees the replacement of timeworn signalling equipment, the construction of 11 bridges, a flyover and six miles of new railway.[/box]
