Upgrades on historic Flying Scotsman route

Kings Cross upgrade tracks (eastcoastupgrade.co.uk)

Rail freight and passenger services will be curtailed for much of January, as a vast upgrade project continues on the East Coast Main Line. The route, made famous by the Flying Scotsman express, connects London, York and Edinburgh, and carries mixed traffic to and from many of the busiest destinations for passengers and freight in the UK. The project is designed to enhance capacity, primarily for the higher-frequency passenger service planned for the route, but also for long-term planning for HS2.
