This year the Easter weekend runs from Friday 29 March (Good Friday) to Monday 1 April (Easter Monday).
During this period Network Rail will be carrying out essential upgrades to railway infrastructure which will impact both London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway services.
The primary impacts on the West Midlands Trains network are:
- No trains will operate to/from London Euston between March 29-April 1 inclusive
- No trains will operate between Northampton and Milton Keynes on March 30 or March 31 (Easter Sunday)
- No trains will operate between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey (Abbey Line) between March 29-April 1 inclusive
- No trains will operate between Lichfield Trent Valley and Birmingham New Street (Cross City Line) between April 2-April 5 inclusive
Rail replacement transport will be in operation on all affected dates. Customers travelling to London Euston are advised to travel either side of the Easter weekend, or use alternative routes.
More information on these works and travel advice for customers is available on the following dedicated web pages:
