We are expecting the limited rail replacement services to be very busy on the 17 – 20 February. Customers may have to queue and there is a possibility that they will not be able to board a service. We are, therefore, encouraging our customers to travel later in the week, where possible, as well as planning their journey carefully in advance and checking their trains before they travel.
Our customer communications will be going live and further details will be available via our East Coast Digital Programme page from this week. We would appreciate your help in sharing the above messages on your channels, along with the detail about the upcoming engineering works.
