Some services will terminate with passengers needing to use replacement buses
East Midlands Railway passengers have been warned of disruption and changes to some services over Christmas. From Saturday, December 21 to Sunday, December 29, Network Rail is carrying out major route improvement work, including replacing overhead electric power lines.
The engineering work during the festive period also includes other 'vital and extensive' maintenance works and supports the future expansion of freight operations on the network. While the work is taking place all EMR Intercity and Connect services to London St Pancras will terminate at Bedford. Customers travelling to London St Pancras will be required to transfer to rail replacement buses, which will operate between Bedford and Milton Keynes. From there, customers can continue their journey into London Euston via the West Coast Main Line. The EMR platforms at London St Pancras will be closed for the duration of the works.
Customers travelling north from London will need to take a train from London Euston to Milton Keynes where rail replacement buses will transfer them over to EMR services at Bedford. Customers should be aware that journey times are expected to be extended by up to one hour due to the replacement bus services.
