West Coast Main Line closed to Carlisle until March [BBC News]





Date: 18/01/2016

The West Coast Main Line is to remain closed until the beginning of March amid further delays to repair a crucial viaduct in South Lanarkshire.
The route was closed north of Carlisle earlier this month after Storm Frank at the end of December caused damage to the Lamington Viaduct.
Engineers initially thought the repairs would be completed by 1 February.
They have now said the extent of the damage means the crossing will not re-open until the first week in March. [From Richard Buckby]
