(Railfanning.org News Wire) — Passengers are reminded to check before traveling on the West Coast Main Line ahead of railway improvements across two weekends.
Passengers traveling on the West Coast Main Line are being advised to plan ahead and check before they travel, as railway improvements will affect journeys over the next two weekends.
Network Rail is delivering track renewals between Rugby and Stafford as part of a long-term program to improve reliability on Britain’s busiest mixed-use railway. At the same time, HS2 construction activity will take place outside London Euston as preparations continue for Britain’s new high-speed railway.
To allow the work to take place safely, services on the route will be amended on the following weekends:
- Saturday 10 – Sunday 11 October 2026
- Saturday 17 – Sunday 18 October 2026
During both weekends, no trains will run between Stafford and Rugby via Nuneaton. Avanti West Coast and London NorthWestern will run a reduced service to an amended timetable:
- Avanti West Coast will divert three trains per hour via the West Midlands
- Services between London Euston and Birmingham New Street will be extended to Liverpool Lime Street every two hours
- Trent Valley stations between Rugby and Stafford will be served by rail replacement bus services
- London Northwestern passengers are encouraged to travel on alternative services between Stafford and Crewe to complete their journeys
Passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and check before they travel at nationalrail.co.uk.
