A Sunday and Monday line closure will be trialled for the first time on Scotland's Railway as preparatory bridge works get underway on the Neilston branch line. Engineers will replace the abutments and deck of the bridge which connects the Balgray Reservoir footpath to Springfield Road on 13-14 August and 20-21 August. The bridge is showing signs of deterioration and when the work is complete it will remove a long-standing weight restriction from the structure.
