London Euston station is scheduled to close during the Easter weekend, disrupting travel plans for thousands of Londoners.
Passengers travelling between Euston and Scotland on the West Coast Main Line have been urged to travel before or after the bank holiday weekend. Scheduled Caledonian Sleeper services will start and terminate at London King’s Cross station.
The closure is due to the £86 million engineering work at the station. This includes renewing switches and crossings, and improving track drainage.
Engineers will finalise the connection of a new rail freight interchange to the West Coast Main Line in Northampton during the Easter weekend.
