Engineers have now completed laying new tracks and installing overhead power lines on the East Kilbride to Glasgow Route.
As part of a £140m investment by the Scottish Government, contractors have been working around the clock to complete the scheme.
Works completed to date include
So far, during the closure, Network Rail has:
- Double-tracked 1.4km of railway between East Kilbride and Hairmyres.
- Installed over 22km of overhead electric power lines.
- Erected new footbridges at Busby, Clarkston and Giffnock stations.
- Renewed the railway bridge over East Kilbride Road in Busby.
- Lowered the track under three key bridges.
Paul Reilly, Network Rail senior programme manager, said: “The complex engineering work we have completed over the past three months is critical to the successful electrification of the line.
“Our engineers have been working around the clock to deliver these enhancements as quickly as possible, and we remain on course to welcome passengers back onto the railway in May.
“We understand the inconvenience the closure has caused for both customers and some of our neighbours, and we thank them for their patience while we build a better, greener railway for the local community.”
