Changes to train times

Engineering work

Engineering work is an essential part of maintaining and upgrading our rail network. Here you'll find all the planned engineering work scheduled to impact LNER services over the next 12 weeks.

Sometimes we may need to make additional short notice changes and recommend you still check your journey as close as possible to your date of travel.

If we do change things after you have bought a ticket, you can either use any reasonable alternative LNER service, or claim a full refund.

Significant upcoming works

August Bank Holiday: major upgrades affecting services to and from London King’s Cross on Sunday 30 August.

Further upgrade work as part of the East Coast Digital Programme means there will be no direct LNER trains to or from London King’s Cross on Sunday 30 August.

LNER trains will start and terminate at Peterborough, where rail replacement coaches will operate to and from Bedford for onward connections with Thameslink to London St Pancras. Journey times will be extended and routes to other London stations, especially trains from Sheffield and Chesterfield, will be busier than usual.

Direct services to and from London King’s Cross will also stop running slightly earlier than usual on Saturday 29 August and start running later than usual on Monday 31 August. We recommend checking your full journey and reserving a seat, as our trains over the Bank Holiday weekend are expected to be busy.
