No Bedford Thameslink this weekend for engineering works
Brace yourselves – there’s a weekend of misery ahead for anyone planning to hop on a train to London.
Railway improvement work means there’ll be NO THAMESLINK trains running between Bedford and Mill Hill Broadway in north London this weekend (Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10), while East Midlands Railway (EMR) services will NOT RUN south of Bedford.
The upheaval is due to work in St Albans, Radlett and Luton.
Replacement bus services will run between:
Bedford and Hitchin
Luton Airport Parkway and Hitchin via Luton
Harpenden and Potters Bar*via St Albans City
Mill Hill Broadway and Luton
Bedford and Luton
Jenny Saunders, customer service director for Thameslink, said: “I’m sorry our Thameslink passengers north of Mill Hill Broadway on the Bedford route will have to take a rail replacement bus this weekend because of this essential engineering work. This will take longer than the normal train ride, so please go online to check your journey before you set out and allow any extra time.”
This weekend is the second of four between April and June when journeys between Bedford and London affected. Further engineering work is planned for June 20-21 and June 27-28.
