Rail line closes for half-term works

Network Rail has announced a seven-day closure of a rail line to facilitate multiple simultaneous works aimed at improving reliability during the half-term period. Simultaneously, the Tyne Bridge will be closed for ten days to allow for essential restoration works. This closure affects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, as new scaffolding must be installed to enable the necessary repairs on the famous structure. Both infrastructure projects are designed to enhance long-term functionality and safety for the public.
