Market Harborough railway station upgrade

There’s a chance to find out about the next phase of the major upgrade to Market Harborough Railway Station today – as Network Rail hosts a public drop-in event there this afternoon.

It comes as work to dig out the new track bed to straighten the line through the station continues – alongside the strengthening of bridges in the town.

The transformation – costing 54 million pounds – will eventually see new platforms and better disabled access, too.

Network Rail representatives will be at the station today between 2 and 7 with special displays and to answer any questions.
