Newcastle East Junction

Today marks the end of major work at Newcastle Central station to boost reliability and provide smoother journeys, helping to create a railway which is fit for the future.

Over the last ten days, teams from Network Rail have been working day and night to deliver key rail improvements in Newcastle, resulting in smoother journeys for passengers.

The renewal of £750m of track will help to improve reliability, allowing passengers get to where they need to be on time. The old timber support system has been replaced with concrete, which makes it easier to spot any issues with the track and fix them more quickly, reducing delays.
