Network Rail’s plans for the Great Western electrification through Sydney Gardens are becoming clearer.

The track will be lowered so that the electricity supply can be fitted under the bridges, which are listed structures. There will also be special designs for the cables and supports. For a period of six weeks in summer 2015, there will be a rolling programme of train service changes whilst the construction work is carried out.

Your Lib Dem Councillors are keeping in close liaison with Network Rail. Cllr David Martin said “we have provided comments on the plans and asked for some on-going repairs to the railway infrastructure as part of the programme”.
