This interactive map provides more information about the construction of one of Scotland’s largest and newest railway projects. Click on the section of track where you live to find out about the work planned in YOUR area and what this means for you.


A project of this magnitude will inevitably cause a level of disruption, we are doing everything we can to minimise this, including keeping you up to date with our construction newsletters and on this website. The reinstatement of the line will bring long term benefits to the line side communities, which will be linked by rail for the first time in over 50 years.
