Highbridge
railway station re-opens after major track repairs
Highbridge railway station re-opened on Monday morning (March
3rd) after a weekend of severe disruption caused by major track
replacement work.
 A
large section of rails running through Highbridge Railway Station
was removed, as pictured here, before being replaced as part of
a major modernisation programme.
The
work began on Friday and lasted round-the-clock until 5am on Monday
(March 3rd).
Some
rail users were angry that there appeared to have been little
advance notification about the work and that they had to take
alternative bus services to continue their journeys.
Network
Rail's website gave no details about the work on Sunday and even
staff operating the National Rail Enquiries telephone line were
in the dark when Burnham-On-Sea.com rang the line on Sunday afternoon.
