No trains between Bedford and London over TWO WEEKENDS
And the hits just keep on coming...
Last week we revealed how there will be no trains running between Bedford and London this Saturday and Sunday (June 20 and June 21).
Well, in an update to that, there will also be no trains the following weekend (June 27-28).
Again, it’s both Thameslink and East Midlands which are affected and there’ll be replacement buses.
Dan Matthews, Network Rail operations director, said: “We’re carrying out a significant programme of upgrades along the Midland Main Line over the coming weekends to make journeys more reliable and resilient for passengers and freight. This includes renewing track, improving drainage to reduce the risk of flooding, upgrading key track components, and continuing work to make stations more accessible."
A spokesperson for East Midlands Railway and Thameslink said: “We’re working closely together and with Network Rail to keep customers moving while these essential upgrades are carried out. During the work, services will be amended and rail replacement buses will be in operation to help passengers complete their journeys. We strongly encourage customers to plan ahead, check before they travel and allow extra time, as journeys will take longer than usual.”
