London Northwestern Railway: Passengers urged to check journeys ahead of timetable change

London Northwestern Railway is urging passengers to check their journeys ahead of a timetable change coming into effect later this month.

From Sunday 11 December departure times and frequencies on some routes will change as part of a national twice-yearly timetable change.

Jonny Wiseman, LNR customer experience director, said: “These changes have been carefully planned to provide a more reliable, robust timetable for our customers.

“On some routes the new timetable will mean departure times have changed significantly so I am urging our customers to check their journeys carefully to avoid being left behind.”

Among the changes are:

• The introduction of a new half-hourly service between Birmingham New Street-Northampton-London Euston
• A new timetable with changes to calling patterns between Northampton-Milton Keynes-London Euston
• Significant retiming on routes including Birmingham New Street-Liverpool Lime Street and Birmingham-Crewe (via Stoke)
• The introduction of an hourly service pattern on the Abbey Line between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey

Full details of the timetable changes are available at www.lnr.uk/december

Passengers are also being reminded that industrial action is expected to disrupt services in the first week following the timetable change (w/c Dec 12). See www.lnr.uk/industrialaction for details.
