Residents are being invited to find out more information about future railway electrification work throughout Stirling.

Two community drop-in events are being held by Network Rail to learn about work as part of the electrification of the railway from Grangemouth and Falkirk, through Stirling to Alloa and Dunblane.

The scheme includes bridge works at Perth Road in Dunblane and Kerse Road in Stirling, with enhancement works to station platforms also underway at Falkirk Grahamston, Larbert and Camelon. Network Rail will finish the main electrification works in 2019.
