Network Rail to invest £1.4M in Lincolnshire track renewal

Network Rail is investing £1.4 million to replace more than 730 meters of track between Hubbert’s Bridge and Swineshead in Lincolnshire. The infrastructure renewal is scheduled for the weekend of October 10 and 11.

The project aims to improve railway reliability and resilience for both passenger and freight services. Expected benefits include a smoother ride, reduced noise for local residents, and a decrease in future maintenance requirements and temporary speed restrictions caused by deteriorating track conditions.

During the works, bus replacement services will operate between Sleaford and Boston. Additionally, a level crossing will close from the evening of Friday, October 9, until the morning of Monday, October 12, with a signed diversion route provided for road users via the A17, A15, and A52.
