Clarkston

Network Rail and contractor Story have started work at Clarkston station to install a new footbridge. This is part of major engineering activity being delivered around-the-clock from 25 January to 18 May to electrify the railway between East Kilbride and Glasgow.

The £140m electrification project is at the centre of the Scottish Government’s ongoing strategy to decarbonise passenger services across Scotland’s Railway.

The old footbridge was removed and the new structure is being installed in mid-March. This will involve a road closure to crane it into position. Work also includes creating a new footpath to provide improved access to Platform 2 from the main public car park (The Goods Yard car park).
