Section of Newquay line upgraded

ACTIVITY lasting a week, and which ended on January 28, has seen a section of track upgraded on the Newquay line, with 870 metres of new track installed near Bugle. Lee Hildreth, Network Rail project manager, said the work was particularly challenging due to the location of the track and it being a single line.

This made removing the old track and components, and transporting the new materials, logistically difficult.
