Network Rail engineers have been busy completing improvement works across Bedfordshire.

Work was carried out to remove the footbridge at Harlington station as well as improve the overhead line equipment, after a new bridge was installed last year.

Improvements at Luton station have also been underway, with work beginning on the Access for All upgrades planned for the station.

The site has been excavated, and the ground has been prepared for construction work ahead of the installation of the accessible bridge.

Additional upgrades have also been underway at Flitwick station, with track being renewed beside platform one, to ensure journeys remain reliable.

There are further planned upgrades across May and June, so passengers should check before they travel.

“This has been a highly productive period of work, with our teams delivering several important projects safely and on time.

“Removing the old footbridge at Harlington marks another milestone in a significant investment, the improvements at Flitwick are already making a positive difference for passengers, and the early work at Luton is a step to delivering major and lasting benefits for station visitors.

“We’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and professionalism, and we’re sorry to passengers whose journey was affected while the railway here was closed for two days.”
