Bedford to London will be busier than usual later this month due to major engineering works
Gird your loins, people, as train travel will be a little busier on November 28 and 29.
Travellers are being warned that due to engineering works on the East Coast Main Line to and from London St Pancras, it will have a knock-on effect for us lot.
Customers using that line are being advised to use Thameslink services to/from Bedford which may leave you fighting (not literally) for a seat.
Philippa Cresswell, customer experience director at East Midlands Railway, said: “These upgrades are essential for improving the reliability of the railway, but they do mean services will feel different for customers travelling on Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29.
“Our Intercity services are expected to be extremely busy over the weekend, and customers should only travel if it’s essential.
“They should also allow extra time for their journey, particularly at St Pancras International, where a queuing system will be in place. Customers should also consider making their journey on Friday or Monday, if possible.
“We also strongly encourage customers to check their journey before travelling.”
