West coast main line faces decade-long closures in multi-billion-pound overhaul
Briefly

Network Rail is set to undertake a once-in-a-generation upgrade of the west coast main line, which will result in 10 years of significant service disruptions.
The necessary replacement of over 150 miles of old overhead lines and extensive renewals means that passengers could face severe interruptions, impacting associated businesses.
Engineers will conduct three major two-week blockades in 2026, 2027, and 2028, disrupting an essential rail artery linking Scotland and England.
The scale of the planned disruption is described as unprecedented in the past 25 years, stressing the importance of these upgrades for the railway's future.
