Network Rail has completed a range of essential upgrades to the railway between London Euston, the Midlands and North West this Early May Bank Holiday.

Combined with recent work at Easter, a total of £41.1m has been invested in the North West and Central region to improve passenger and freight services for the future.

Both weekends saw the complete closure of London Euston station for major track upgrades at Watford and Wembley.

Other improvements between Saturday 30 and Monday 2 May included:

• Railway drainage work in Camden to protect tracks from future flooding
• Demolition of an old railway viaduct in Birmingham ahead of the HS2 (SAS 13) bridge renewal this weekend
• Signalling – the traffic lights of the railway – being upgraded in Macclesfield
• Bridge upgrade work in Carlisle
• Track foundation strengthening in Warrington and Carlisle
• Track replacement on the West Coast main line in Carstairs in Scotland
