Work is continuing to upgrade railway tracks between Norwich and London.

The project at Kelvedon will see two switches and crossings units installed over the coming weekend.

This follows on from 274 metres of new track being laid between Stowmarket and Manningtree last month, along with two switches and crossings units installed last weekend.

Ballast, the stones that form the track bed, was also replaced to improve drainage and keep the track in place.

Work will take place on 07 – 08 October and the following weekend on Sunday, 15 October.

Meliha Duymaz, Network Rail's route managing director for Anglia, said: "This work is essential to improve reliability and keep services running smoothly and safely on this busy main line as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan.

"When complete, the work will benefit all passengers using services that pass through the Kelvedon area. I'd like to thank passengers for their patience while we carry out this work."
