On 24 and 25 October, work will go ahead and will also take place on 31 October and 1 November.  

Parts of the concrete foundation that support the track through the Argyle line tunnels at the exhibition centre and Dalmarnock will be repaired by engineers. 

Sections of rail and other track equipment at Rutherglen station will also be replaced by engineers. 

The work is intended to lengthen the life of key railway assets and decrease the likelihood of faults that can prompt hold-ups for passengers.

Teams will also deliver a variety of other maintenance activities across the route while the line is shut for track work.

Engineers will repair overhead lighting, replace ageing wall panels on platforms and conduct a deep clean at Glasgow Central Low Level station.

Equipment used to control the safe movement of trains through the tunnels will also be upgraded to strengthen performance, while detailed inspections of the track, tunnels and railway systems will be conducted. 

To allow the work to be completed safely, there will be changes to ScotRail services.  

On 24 and 25 October, no service will run between Rutherglen and Exhibition Centre via Glasgow Central Low Level. 

On 31 October and 1 November, no trains will run between Partick and Rutherglen.

Gary Hopkirk, route programme director at Network Rail Scotland, said: “Because sections of the route run through tunnels beneath the city, we need occasional closures like this to get in and carry out maintenance that isn’t possible while trains are running. 

“As well as looking after the track and signalling equipment that keeps services moving, we’re taking the opportunity to make improvements at Glasgow Central Low Level station too.”

Hopkirk added: “By bringing a range of work together over the same weekends, we can improve the railway, enhance the station environment and help reduce the risk of any unplanned disruption in the future.”
