Manchester to London: 5-Day Train Disruption, Upgrades Ahead

0:00On April 2nd, no trains from Manchester to London used in for five days straight, starting April 3rd through 8th. Engineering crews are shutting down major lines on the West Coast mainline so Avati West Coast services can't run too or from the station at all. Instead head to London St. Pancras International and catch East Midlands Railway or Temslink trains to Bedford or tickets work there with no extra. Cost. Third, replacement buses roll to Milton Keynes Central for Northbound links. This slams busy routes hard, dropping frequencies to just one train per hour between spots like Manchester Piccadilly and Milton Keynes or even. Glasgow Central and Liverpool Lime Street. London Overground faces some chaos too. Upgrades include track fixes worth 8.4 million pounds of Willsden, over 7 million pounds in signalling south of Ladenbuzzard, 6.6 million pounds on bridges at Leadburn. Plus overhead lines near Wembley and Powerboost in Bushy. All this disruption paves the way for smoother, more reliable rides long term.
