Rail replacement services

Our rail replacement services

During planned engineering work we operate rail replacement buses, coaches and taxis to help keep you moving.

Information about upcoming rail replacement services can be found on our engineering works page.

You can find the location of replacement vehicle pick-up and drop-off points by checking station signs or by searching for your station on our station facilities page.

Please be advised that you should allow extra time for your journey and, on occasion, replacement vehicles may be busier than usual.

A valid train ticket is required to board a rail replacement service

Rail replacement travel advice

Buses, coaches and taxis are different to trains, so there will be things you can expect on a train that are not possible or practical for us to provide on a replacement service.
