Dundee train station work off until Christmas

Work at Dundee’s train station has ground to a halt because the next stage cannot be completed until Christmas Eve.

The £20 million project is having to wait until the old bridge below the station is demolished, says project manager Gerry Conway.

This can only be done during a brief 56-hour window over Christmas when trains are not operating.

Gerry said: “We are kind of in a lull with the works because there’s nothing we can do until Christmas.

“It’s a railway, so we only get access then.”

Last year, the old front entrance was knocked down during the two-and-a-half-day Christmas holiday respite.
