Passengers travelling on the West Coast Main Line over the Easter period are being urged to plan ahead during essential railway upgrades between London Euston and Milton Keynes.
Between April 3 & 8, engineers will carry out a large programme of improvements to modernise ageing railway infrastructure, increase reliability and support future growth on Europe’s busiest mixed-use railway.
The scale of the projects means that no main line services will run between Euston and Milton Keynes Central for six days, with trains starting and terminating north of the closure.
Rail replacement services will be in operation to keep passengers on the move.
“There is a large amount of work taking place over the Easter bank holiday and until 8 April to improve the reliability of the West Coast Main Line for the millions of passengers and freight operators who rely on this route," said Gary Walsh Network Rail’s West Coast South route director.
“There will be some major changes to journeys between Euston and Milton Keynes in this six-day period so we’re urging everyone who plans to travel over Easter to check their journey in advance at National Rail Enquiries.”
Passengers are encouraged to plan ahead by visiting www.nationalrail.co.uk and allowing extra time to travel, and be prepared for part of their journey to be by the aforementioned rail replacement bus.
