It comes after Network Rail said a “significant amount” of work has been carried out at the town’s station.
The rail firm said this included extending platform three to accommodate longer four-carriage electric trains which involved moving the current buffers and rebuilding the access paths.
Over 70,000 hours were worked during the six-week closure and activity including installing 14,400 metres of overhead power cables and renewing 130 metres of track. Paul Reilly, Network Rail Senior Programme Manager, said: “I would like to thank passengers, residents, and businesses for their patience and understanding over the last six-weeks, as we delivered these vital engineering works.
“The work also represents another considerable achievement as part of our wider plans to deliver net zero across Scotland’s Railway and we’re looking forward to electric trains operating on the route.”
