Network Rail appear to be on the right track after announcing a £1 million upgrade to the Stranraer-Ayr line.
The rail operator has confirmed it will be investing in upgrading track and drainage to make journeys for passengers even more reliable.
Between 28 November and 8 December, teams will carry out vital upgrades along key sections of track, using more than 2,000 tonnes of materials.
Markdhu No.1 level crossing will also be resurfaced while structures and embankments will be inspected while there are no trains running on the line.
Buses will replace trains between Stranraer and Ayr during the nine-day close down of the rail line.
There will also be rail replacement buses between Kilwinning and Ayr on Sunday 30 November only.
The project is part of Network Rail’s commitment to improving the long-term resilience and reliability of the route for the communities that depend on it.
A spokesperson said: “Teams will be working hard to complete the upgrades as quickly as safely as possible, and we appreciate passengers’ patience while we deliver this important project.”
