Do Trains Run Over Easter?
Yes, our trains will run over the Easter bank holiday weekend. All four days, from Good Friday to Easter Money, are considered to be off-peak, allowing you to enjoy a budget-friendly day out by train. If an off-peak or super off-peak ticket is valid for your journey, journey planners will make it available to purchase.
However, improvement work often takes place at this time of year, which may mean some changes to our usual timetable. Easter is a key period for essential railway upgrades, and we work closely with industry partners to keep any impact to a minimum and provide alternative transport wherever possible.
We encourage customers to check before travelling, as affected journeys may take longer than normal.
You can stay up to date with planned improvement works on our timetables and disruption page. For live updates on our network, including any delays or cancellations, visit our service updates page, app or National Rail Enquiries
