Bank Holiday rail disruption
to passengers planning travel to or from Euston station this Bank Holiday is clear: plan your journeys on days other than Saturday and Sunday and only travel by train on those days if absolutely essential.
“Travel between Scotland, the North West, West Midlands and London on the Saturday and Sunday is discouraged and the whole rail industry – Network Rail, HS2 Ltd and train operators – is working together to give passengers plenty of warning and information about the planned disruption.”
The HS2 work involves relocating a key power supply at Euston station to clear the way for future developments.
Virgin Trains’ executive director for customer, operations and safety on the west coast, Peter Broadley, said: “We know upgrade works can impact on people’s travel plans, particularly over a Bank Holiday weekend.
“We expect our services to be extremely popular on Friday 25 and Monday, August 28.
“If customers choose to travel, we recommend they ● book in advance, make a seat reservation and allow longer getting to their destination.”
HS2 Ltd programme director Rob Carr added: “HS2 is working closely with Network Rail to deliver a brand new high speed railway that will boost the UK’s economy and revolutionise rail travel in the UK – increasing capacity and better connecting cities in the Midlands and the North to each other, as well as to London.
