London Northwestern Railway: Passengers urged to plan ahead of engineering works taking place at Easter

Passengers travelling with London Northwestern Railway (LNR) are being urged to plan ahead of engineering works impacting services on the Easter weekend (April 7-10).

The works, being carried out by Network Rail, will mean:

• Due to engineering work on the West Coast Main Line, no trains will run between Milton Keynes Central and London Euston. Rail replacement in place from Milton Keynes linking passengers to other routes to London, with tickets acceptance in place with alternative operators.

• A rail replacement service will run on the Abbey Line between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey.

• A rail replacement service will run between Stafford and Crewe.

Jonny Wiseman, LNR customer experience director, said:

“Due to engineering works across the network on the Easter weekend, I urge passengers to check their journey planners carefully to see if their route is affected.

“If your route is impacted, our advice is to travel either side of the Easter weekend if possible to avoid significant disruption and longer journey times.”

Meanwhile, LNR has confirmed a normal timetable will be in operation on Thursday 30 March and Saturday 1 April following the suspension of planned industrial action by the RMT union.
