Read our privacy policy London’s busy Euston station will remain closed this weekend for the last in three consecutive weekends of closures, with no trains running on the busy West Coast mainline. Virgin Trains and London Northwestern Railway services to Liverpool, Manchester, the Midlands, the North West and Scotland will all be affected, with no services departing from or arriving into Euston station on Saturday 1 September and Sunday 2 September. A spokesperson for London Northwestern Railway told The Independent that ticket acceptance was not in place with other operators: "If passengers have a London Northwestern only ticket, usual flexibility with other ticket types, e.g any permitted route, remains as it would on any other day," they said. Martin Frobisher, managing director for Network Rail’s London North Western route, said: “There is never an ideal time to shut the railway but these three weekends are the least disruptive times to do it.
