RAISING THE ROOF PAISLEY'S LANDMARK GILMOUR STREET STATION UPGRADE NEARS COMPLETION Track upgrade is set to boost capacity

THE WORK at Gilmour Street is taking place alongside the £170million Paisley Corridor Improvements (PCI) project upgrading the track and signalling between Shields junction in Glasgow and Paisley Gilmour Street station.
Network Rail say PCI will improve capacity and allow for increased services between Glasgow and Ayrshire, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
The Paisley corridor, which is an important route for commuters and freight traffic and had a state of the art signalling system installed over the last 12 months, suffered severe disruption this winter. The final stretch of the line from Arkleston to Gilmour Street has been upgraded to four track for even greater flexibility, rail bosses say.
