Network Rail has serious concerns that it will fail to meet the deadline to finish work on the West Coast Main Line by December, the BBC has learned.
The rail infrastructure company has rejected the idea of putting completion of £750m of work back to May 2009.
Instead, it is asking train companies for extra track closures on top of those planned for holiday periods.
It comes as the rail regulator is set to fine Network Rail for late work at Rugby, Liverpool Street and Glasgow.
