First week of East Coast Main Line work sees no trains run between North East and London
No trains are due to run the full route between the North East and London this weekend as planned weekend engineering work returns.
This is the first of a series of weekends travellers will be impacted on the East Coast Main Line as services from the North East to London will be broken up by replacement busses.
Work on the line further south between Peterborough and London means trains cannot run along the final stretch of the track.
While Grand Central are not running services on the line throughout the weekend, Lumo will be operating limited services between Newcastle and Edinburgh and not travelling further south.
LNER services will run to Peterborough, where travellers will require a bus to nearby Bedford, where they can then use ThamesLink trains to get to St Pancras.
This is the first of four weekends where trains will be impacted to the southern end of the East Coast Main Line.
Customers travelling both north and south will be impacted.
The affected dates are as follows:
- Saturday, January 1 - Sunday, February 2
- Saturday, February 7 - Sunday, February 8
- Sunday, February 15
- Saturday, February 21 - Sunday, February 22
