我们的铁路比以往任何时候都忙碌 - 过去20年来旅行的人数翻了一番。
是implementing a wide range ofmajor projects帮助满足需求巨大增加。
我们的投资计划现在正在进入最终阶段，更好地频繁，数十万人的速度更快，现在几个月几个月，因为有益于的益处。
We look at some of our latest updates…
伟大的西方电气化
是电气化one of Britain’s oldest and busiest railways, providing greener, more reliable journeys and improving connections across southern England and South Wales: London and Bristol, including Cardiff, Newbury and Oxford.
该项目也是我们伦敦升级计划的一部分，创造了新的联系和最高时刻的容量增加了30％。
本月，第一列电动火车遍布伦敦帕丁顿和卡迪夫中央。两国资本城市之间的电气化意味着数千个额外的席位，更频繁的服务，以及旅行时的乘客旅行更快伟大的西式铁路跨越式发动机：
Over the Christmas and New Year period, Network Rail engineers worked around the clock to switch on the electricity running through the overhead line equipment between St Brides, Newport and west of Cardiff Central station.
Passengers now benefit from an average journey time saving of 14 minutes between South Wales and London and an extra 15,000 weekday seats between Cardiff and London.
这项主要的现代化项目涉及：
- 在卡迪夫和伦敦之间致电更多的150英里，包括威尔士
- 安装了超过4,200桅杆和臂，将架空电线固定到位
- Installing about 400 miles of wire and making changes to 49 different structures.
East Coast Upgrade
We're upgrading the East Coast Main Line允许更多列车运行并在路线上运行更快的旅程。
一旦完成，1.2亿英镑的东海岸升级将使一个小时的一小时进入伦敦，每天提供高达10,000个额外座位，提高火车服务可靠性。
The project is regenerating the infrastructure along the East Coast Main Line and simplifying the track layout at London King’s Cross station. It also includes the construction of a new bay platform at Stevenage.
This month we carried out vital upgrades to the signalling system. Our engineers moved control of a section of the signalling system to a specialist centre in York, which will help to create a more resilient railway.
这跟着圣诞节和新的一年，在铁路下的隧道下安装潜水 - 就在彼得伯勒火车站之外作为东海岸升级的一部分。
爱丁堡格拉斯哥改善计划（EGIP）
October marked two years since we began the main £120m redevelopment of Glasgow Queen Street station.
Since October 2017, engineers have been working around-the-clock to transform Scotland’s third-busiest station without closing it to passengers or services.
This month work has included new stairs and an access ramp; the completion of gold cladding on the Dundas Street side of the station and continuing installation of the cladding inside, and the arrival of the first brand-new departure board:
早些时候重建,我们不得不取消铁道部e than 14,000 tons of material – 94 percent of which was recycled – from the site as engineers demolished redundant 1970s buildings in front of the station to clear the way for the redevelopment
Since December 2018, the steel frame of the iconic new station building has been under construction with engineers completing the installation of 310 glass panels on the new station frontage in September.
曾在2020年春季完整，重建将振兴车站，提供现代建筑，随着旧车站的大小，较大的大厅几乎加倍，位于Dundas街和乔治广场上有完全无障碍的入口。

Midland主线升级计划
Extensive work continues to the railway between Bedford and Kettering as part of ourMidland主线升级计划, with significant progress made over Christmas and New Year.
在此期间内工作包括：
- New switches and crosses south of Kettering railway station, which allows trains to connect to other tracks and to the mainline to a new electric stabling facility. All four tracks are now in place at Kettering sidings. This has involved 1425m of new plain line track and will supplement the electrification of the Midland Main Line by providing a stabling facility for the new electric trains.
- 23公里的新轨道生产第四行。
- 1.5 km of embankment works.
- The strengthening of 15 structures.
- 安装105个新信号和11个新的信号龙头。
- 站升级为准备第四线和电气化，通过建造和延伸平台和调节檐篷以容纳架空电缆。
