A rail route linking Surrey and Berkshire will be shut for seven days for “essential track and bridge maintenance work” to be carried out.<\/p>\n
Network Rail said no trains will run between Staines and Windsor & Eton Riverside between 26 October and 1 November, affecting South Western Railway (SWR) services.<\/p>\n
During the closure, work will take place on the stretch of track and at two bridges, to improve the railway’s “reliability and resilience”, said the rail infrastructure manager.<\/p>\n
No trains will stop at Wraysbury, Sunnymeads, Datchet and Windsor & Eton Riverside during the work, with a bus replacement service operating instead.<\/p>\n
“Engineers will carry out essential track and bridge maintenance work between Staines and Windsor & Eton Riverside, as part of ongoing investment in railway infrastructure to improve reliability and resilience for customers across the network,” said Network Rail.<\/p>\n
They will replace wheel and long timbers, and wooden blocks that support passing trains, at a bridge between Staines and Wraysbury and one on the approach to Windsor & Eton Riverside station.<\/p>\n
Switches and crossings near Staines station will also be renewed, “where there is an important entry point for trains to enter service”, it added.<\/p>\n
The work will also see buses replace trains between between Hounslow, Feltham and Virginia Water on 31 October and 1 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rail route linking Surrey and Berkshire will be shut for seven days for “essential track and bridge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":791909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-791908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
