Planned rail engineering work over the Easter weekend – Transport Focus response

14 April 2022

With rail engineering work due to take place across the Easter weekend, operators have advised passengers of timetable changes and cancellations of services.

David Sidebottom, director at the independent watchdog Transport Focus, said:

“For many of us, the Easter weekend is an opportunity to meet friends and family and take trips. Being able to rely on trains running when they are supposed to is key.

“Passengers understand those welcome improvements will mean some disruption, but they need plenty of information before, during and after. This includes how their journeys are affected and what their choices are. It will also be important to have plenty of staff on hand during the disruption, to guide passengers and answer any questions.”
