在短短一个多月的时间内，西海岸干线上的一个主要枢纽将关闭16天，用于沃灵顿的重要工程建设，火车乘客今天被警告。
7月20日至8月4日期间，英国国营铁路公司将对繁忙的阿克顿格亚搏彩票软件官网兰奇枢纽的轨道、电缆、架空线路和信号进行升级改造，该枢纽每天有260多辆列车在使用。
阿克顿庄园是克鲁和普雷斯顿之间西海岸干线的关键路段。
While the £27 million Great North Rail Project scheme takes place, many train services will be diverted via alternative routes.
Train operators and Network Rail have agreed a plan to keep passengers moving throughout the work.
这项计划可能意味着乘客在旅途中的某一段时间必须换乘不同的火车或公共汽车。
Passengers are being urged to checkwww.nationalrail.co.ukbefore travelling so they know exactly what to expect.
They are also advised to allow more time for their journeys as services are likely to be busier than usual.
英国国营铁路公司伦敦西北线董事总经理马丁·弗罗比舍（Martin Frobish亚搏彩票软件官网er）表示：西海岸干线是欧洲最繁忙的多用途铁路。它是英国的经济支柱。
“每天有260多趟列车在这个路口行驶，保持良好的状态至关重要。我们需要对其进行更换和升级，以确保在未来多年内为乘客提供可靠的铁路。
“To deliver work of this scale and magnitude, we must close the junction for 16 days this summer. The alternative would be many weekends of disruption to passengers and much higher cost.
“We have worked closely with our train and freight operator colleagues to minimise the disruption and to keep as many trains moving as possible. I would urge passengers to plan ahead and check before they travel atwww.nationalrail.co.uk.”
Robert Nisbet, regional director for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents the railway, said:“This vital engineering work is part of the rail industry’s plan to improve punctuality and make journeys better while keeping disruption to a minimum as much as we can.
“We encourage people who are planning to take the train during these weeks to check before they travel by visitingwww.nationalrail.co.ukor speaking to their train operator.”
西海岸干线的这一段有助于将切斯特和沃灵顿连接到东部的曼彻斯特，并将维根、普雷斯顿、湖区和苏格兰连接到西米德兰兹和伦敦。
The vital upgrade this summer will bring the outdated track and equipment up to modern standards and further improve the reliability of the economically important West Coast main line.
