PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE WORKS HAVE NOW BEEN CANCELLED
We will be undertaking works to complete the upgrade of the level crossing on Newbiggin Road/Black Close Bank, ahead of the reopening of the line to passenger trains later this year. The works will be undertaken from 11:30pm on Saturday 7 December to 7am Sunday 8 December in the area shown below;
During the works, there may be some localised disruption due to noise, however we will limit this where possible, including by turning equipment off when not in use.
The works will require a full road closure for vehicles and a diversionary route, which has been agreed with the council, will be clearly sign posted. Pedestrian access will be maintained, although there may be a short delay. A shuttle bus will be provided to support pedestrian users during this closure.
Shuttle Bus Timetable
We understand that working near your property and working overnight is far from ideal and we are sorry in advance for any disruption these essential works may cause. Our teams have been briefed and will be mindful when carrying out this work, making sure all the relevant mitigations are in place to avoid excess noise. We will also continue to keep you updated with any work taking place near to your property.
For any queries about this track work and associated road closures please call the Network Rail National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41, which is available 24/7.
