Anderston Tunnel
A section of tunnel on the Argyle Line. The route between Rutherglen and Exhibition Centre has re-opened following a £32m improvement project. Network Rail has successfully completed work to the Argyle line, which will reopen as planned this Monday (May 9) following an eight-week programme of extensive engineering works. The line closed on March 13 to allow engineers to deliver a £32m investment in repairing and renewing tunnels, bridges and tracks between Rutherglen and Exhibition Centre. It was the most significant piece of engineering on the line in a generation and was all designed to improve punctuality and reliability for passengers for years to come. Engineers removed 500 tonnes of concrete encasement from the tunnels, with 700 structural beams repainted and more than 1,000 square metres of waterproofing applied.
