Engineering works, major disruptions and planned improvement work 

Engineering works, service changes and improvement projects

To keep the rail network running safely and reliably, we regularly carry out engineering and improvement works — usually overnight or at weekends. When this happens, we’ll arrange alternative transport, like rail replacement buses, to help you get where you need to be.

Please bear in mind that journeys might take a little longer than usual, and some services may start later or finish earlier than the normal timetable during this time. 

From time to time, bigger projects mean services could be disrupted for a longer period. We’ll share details of these major works on this page well in advance, so you can plan ahead.

You can check what’s happening across the rail network over the next 12 weeks on the National Rail website.

And remember — online journey planners like National Rail and our App are the best way to check for any changes to your journey before you travel.
