"Ahead of work to cut back trees and vegetation on the railway between East Kilbride and Glasgow, Network Rail is inviting local people to ‘drop-in’ to find out more about the work.
Clearing the trees and vegetation along the eleven-mile railway corridor will begin in September and
will enable further site and geological investigation(SI/GI) which will inform proposals for future investment in the railway. (my bold)
As well as vegetation clearance, this work will include a general tidy up and will address any issues with fencing uncovered as the vegetation is cleared. It will be delivered in a combination of both day and night time working, including at weekends."
