• Network Rail carrying out 620 upgrade projects worth £80m to improve railway for passengers
• Those looking to travel by train over the Late May Bank Holiday are urged to plan their journeys in advance and travel at quieter times where possible

Network Rail is advising those planning to travel by train over the Late May Bank Holiday to plan ahead as it prepares to carry out 620 projects to upgrade the railway.

While the majority of the network will be unaffected, some routes will be impacted by the upgrade works taking place.

Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said: “We are continuing to invest in our rail network to provide a better service for passengers as they begin to return to the railway in greater numbers.

“While the majority of the network will be open as normal, some routes will be impacted by our upgrade works, so I would urge anyone wanting to travel by train over the bank holiday to plan ahead and check their journey in advance.”
