We've just completed hundreds of Christmas and New Year projects across Britain's railway to give you better and more reliable journeys for the long term.
Find out what we got up to over the festive period … despite gusts of more than 100 miles per hour during Storm Bella …
Eastern region
Our Eastern region runs from the borders of Scotland to London. Here, work included strengthening Camden Road bridge for more reliable journeys for freight and London Overground passengers.
为此工作£1.2亿英镑东海岸升级继续伦敦国王的十字架, with the reconstruction of Camden sewer, which runs beneath the tracks near the railway station. It's among the upgrades of the East Coast Main Line that will allow more trains to run and deliver quicker journeys across the route.
Outside伦敦利物浦街station, we refurbished two sets of points, which allow trains to move from one track to another, including the installation of 40 brand new timbers, which hold the rails in place.
与此同时，诺里奇火车站以外，我们取代了四组点，以及在该轨道下面的木材。
In Colchester, we improved the track for more reliableGreater Anglia火车服务。

Scotland's Railway
苏格兰的铁路可以沿着忙碌的通勤路线提供迅速进入我们的七个苏格兰城市。
我们取代或翻新的接头和追踪方法格拉斯哥中央station, and renewed track and installed new points (which enable trains to move from one track to another) at Cadder, near Glasgow.

南部地区
南部地区从英格兰西部的德文郡到了东部的肯特。在这里，这里的工作包括在克罗伊登附近的塞尔登路大桥的所有四条桥甲板的替代品。它意味着对基础设施的更多恢复能力，并有助于降低未来桥梁抨击的风险，这是危险的，维修和延迟您的旅程昂贵。
我们还奠定了新的镇流器（轨道上的石头），并安装了轨道枕木和运行轨道。
The railway in Sussex is made up of hundreds of overbridges, underbridges, footbridges and tunnels and we’re investing £112m to replace or refurbish several structures on the route. This investment means that we are doing more to improve your journeys across Sussex and into London than ever before.

Meanwhile, we improved one of South East London’s busiest railways, in the heart of Lewisham. We renewed a junction crossing all four lines from Hither Green into Central London to improve the reliability of trains in the area.
The work involved replacing four sets of points and two diamond crossings, which allow trains to move from one track to another. Our project manager James Pearce explained more – including why the area has been a bottleneck for trains – when we met him on Boxing Day:
威尔士和西部地区
Our Wales and Western region serves communities and businesses of Wales, the Thames Valley, West of England and the South West Peninsula.
At West Cardiff, our team renewed track and signalling, which involved improvements to the straight pieces of rail and switches and crossings, which guide trains between tracks.
