Travellers are set to face mass journey disruptions over the May Bank Holiday next weekend.
London’s Euston Station will be closed next Sunday to all but London Overground passengers.
People looking to travel are therefore advised to check for the latest updates before planning their routes, especially if they’re headed to Scotland.
From Saturday to Monday, May 4 to 6, engineers will also be carrying out major railway upgrades across the North West of England.
Those wanting to travel between Crewe, Liverpool, Warrington, Runcorn, Wigan, Bolton, Manchester, Preston and Carlisle are therefore advised to check well in advance of setting off.
The Bank Holiday misery comes after the Easter break was marred by three days of motorway and train line chaos, when severe congestion and planned works choked many of the nation’s most crucial motorways, A-roads and rail routes.
James Dean, passenger director for Network Rail’s North West and Central region, said: ‘We know there is never an ideal time to shut the railway but bank holidays continue to be the least disruptive time for us to carry out this essential maintenance.’
‘With Euston closed our advice is once again to check before you travel over the long weekend, and to plan ahead by checking National Rail Enquiries to see how your journey could be impacted.
Engineering work will further see buses replace trains between Doncaster and Darlington.
In the capital, other constructions and repairs will also cause disruption between Farringdon and Loughborough Junction, between Blackfriars and Herne Hill, and between Battersea Pier and Factory Junction.
On Sunday 5, there will be no Thameslink services running from either Wimbledon or Sutton.
The Sevenoaks service will also run from London Victoria instead of London Blackfriars.
Meanwhile, repair work between Shepherd’s Bush and Watford Junction will see the Southern service suspended between 8pm on the Saturday and noon on Sunday.
Trains along that route will then be suspended again from 9pm that evening.
