UK Trains Rail Disruptions & Other Info
Aug 2 to Aug 8
Major engineering work impacts Avanti West Coast services.
Period:Saturday, August 2 to Friday, August 8
Operators:Avanti West Coast
Related Information:Major engineering work means there will be no trains to or from Stockport, Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent from Saturday 2 to Friday 22 August. Avanti West Coast are running rail replacement buses to get travelers to and from these stations instead, however journeys will take longer as a result. Trains between London and Manchester are running, they’ll just take a few minutes longer going by a different route. Avanti trains to and from Manchester and Liverpool are running less frequently due to these diversions. Less frequent trains between London and Liverpool means a significantly reduced Avanti West Coast timetable at Lichfield Trent Valley and Tamworth. For customers heading to Wembley on 10 August for the Community Shield, this engineering work might affect their journey. We advise customers plan ahead and check before travelling ( https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/travel-information/live-train-status ) to the match.
