Track replacement equipment (2), Newport Station
Major track replacement work took place at Newport Station over Christmas 2019 to New Year.
This involved removing old track with heavy machinery and installing new track, switches and crossings.
Over 4 years has been spent on work relating to the electrification of the main line through Newport with several delays.
Trains began running on electricity through to Cardiff in January 2020.
