Engineering work

Network Rail need to do engineering work to maintain and improve the rail network. They do a lot of this work at weekends and during holiday periods, but they also need to do some work overnight during the week.

If we need to close rail lines so Network Rail can carry out work, buses will replace train services. We may also have to alter train services over a wider area.

Please check for any changes to train times before travelling at weekends, late in the evening or early in the morning.
