A track at Glasgow Central Station has undergone a million pound facelift using an investment from the Scottish Government to enhance the safety and reliability of the railway for many years.
The 10-week programme - which cost £1.2m - is now complete and has given platform 1 a new lease of life.
The works included replacing 720 baseplates which are fixed to the concrete slab that holds the track in place, installing over 100 new timber sleepers along the length of platform 1 and upgrading tactile paving along the platform edge.

Signalling cables have also been renewed and a deep clean of the platform carried out - including the removal of overgrown vegetation.
Tom Podger, Senior Project Engineer, Network Rail Scotland said: “Our team of engineers have been working around the clock to deliver this project safely and on time.
"Their work will improve the track at platform 1 as part of efforts to enhance the safety and reliability of the railway for years to come.
“We are pleased that the works have been completed on time and within budget.”
