Read our privacy policy Rail engineering work to make overhead electric wires more resilient against hot weather will cause major disruption at one of the UK’s busiest stations during the early May bank holiday weekend. There’s never a good time to impact rail services Jake Kelly, Network Rail Network Rail said its improvement work on the West Coast Main Line over the bank holiday weekend includes “overhead line work to prepare for hot weather” at Euston and Kings Langley, Hertfordshire. Jake Kelly, Network Rail’s system operator director, said: “The majority of the rail network will be open as usual for passengers travelling over the bank holiday weekend, but we do have some vital upgrade work taking place to improve journeys in some areas, so please check before you travel, either with your train operator or using National Rail Enquiries. “There’s never a good time to impact rail services, but with fewer passengers typically travelling over the bank holidays, we have the opportunity to complete vital work to provide better and more reliable journeys whilst minimising disruption for our passengers and freight users.”
