August Bank Holiday Travel Advice

Temporary Intercity Timetable: Please note that East Midlands Railway have introduced a temporary reduced Intercity timetable to help provide a more consistent and reliable service whilst they address issues with the performance and reliability of their trains. This will be in place through the Bank Holiday weekend, and is subject to any additional changes detailed below.

Saturday 29 August

Normal service

No changes to Intercity, Connect or Regional train services have been announced.

Sunday 30 August

Normal service, but Intercity and Connect routes are expected to be extremely busy

No changes to Intercity, Connect or Regional train services have been announced.

However, all day on Sunday 30 August, Network Rail are carrying out essential major engineering work on the East Coast Mainline route between the north-east and London Kings Cross. This will significantly disrupt services that run on that route.

One impact of this will be that East Midlands Railway services to and from London St Pancras International are expected to see more customers than usual - trains are likely to be extremely busy, with the potential for standing room only.

A queuing system will be in place at London St Pancras International station for East Midlands Railway services. It may not be possible to board your intended service, so please allow extra time at the station.
