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
No direct LNER trains to or from London King's Cross on Sunday 24 August
No direct LNER trains to or from London King's Cross on Sunday 24 August
Further planned engineering as part of the East Coast Digital Programme is taking place on Sunday 24 August. There will be no direct trains to or from London King’s Cross on this date. LNER trains will start and terminate at Peterborough, where rail replacement coaches will operate to and from Bedford for onward connections with other operators to London St Pancras. Journey times will be extended as a result and routes via other London stations will be busier than usual.
There will also be some changes to late night services on Saturday 23 August and early morning services on Monday 26 August as a result of this work. Please check your full journey, including any connections with other operators, if you are travelling over the Bank Holiday weekend.
