Network Rail has completed track and signalling upgrade work in Rhyl, Denbighshire..

The project, which forms part of the £50 million North Wales railway upgrade project, involved replacing hundreds of metres of railway track as well as installing new signalling equipment.

While most of the work has been completed, engineers will carry out minor track work in the area overnight until January 2018. The new signalling equipment is set to go live in March 2018.
