Passengers travelling during the upcoming Spring bank holiday weekend have been urged to plan ahead due to strike action.
|
Tomorrow (May 22) and Saturday, May 23 strike action on London Northwestern Railway services will mean a very limited service will be in operation. London Northwestern services on both dates will operate to a reduced timetable with no trains running after 7pm on Friday and a later 7am start of service on Saturday. This includes trains from Birmingham and Northampton to London Euston. London Northwestern passengers are advised to only travel if necessary. Avanti West Coast services are expected to be very busy. “Passengers should check their journeys before travelling this Spring bank holiday weekend, as strike action affecting London Northwestern Railway services will mean a very limited service on some routes. London Northwestern services that do run are expected to be very busy," said Gary Walsh, West Coast South route director for Network Rail. “We know this is a busy time for travel and we’re sorry for the disruption this will cause. If you do need to travel, please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey." Passengers should also be aware of upcoming disruption around Euston at the end of the month. On Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 May, teams from Network Rail will complete key drainage improvement works near Milton Keynes and HS2 construction activity will take place outside Euston, in preparation for Britain's new high-speed railway. This will mean a reduced timetable, but the station will remain open and trains will continue to run.
