Planned Engineering Works

Engineering work is an essential part of maintaining and upgrading the rail network which we rely on every day. Find out more about engineering work and why it is essential for the reliable operation of the rail network here.

The majority of planned engineering work will take place overnight or at the weekend. You can check our online timetable (this does not function on Internet Explorer) for any changes to train times that may affect your journey, some of which may involve rail replacement coach services when trains are unable to run.

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the number of timetable alterations which have been required since the COVID 19 pandemic began in March, the rail industry is currently unable to confirm amended timetables (due to engineering work) at the usual timescales. We are collectively working hard to improve this but alterations to services may only be applied in Journey Planning systems approximately 21 before a train runs. More info here.

We strongly advise customers to always check their travel details before travelling to ensure the most up to date journey information has been received.
