There will be almost no trains to or from London Euston station over Easter due to engineering work.

Between Good Friday (3 April) and Wednesday 8 April, Avanti services will terminate at Milton Keynes Central instead, as Network Rail replaces a major bridge, upgrades signalling and renews infrastructure.

Replacement buses will run between Milton Keynes and Bedford where passengers can take a train to London St Pancras.

Network Rail’s Jake Kelly said: “Bank holidays are also among the least busy times on the railway, and the four-day period at Easter gives us a valuable opportunity to complete projects that simply can’t be delivered during a normal weekend.”
