Sunday 30 August

Significantly amended service between Peterborough and London

Due to major engineering work all day south of Peterborough, no LNER trains will run between Peterborough and London Kings Cross in either direction.

A revised LNER timetable will operate, with trains from Scotland, the north of England and the Midlands terminating at, and starting back from Peterborough. A bus service will run in both directions between Peterborough and Bedford, for alternative train company connections into / out of London St Pancras International.

There will be no LNER services to or from Lincoln, Skipton or Hull, and there will be a reduced service on some other routes.

Impacted journeys will take significantly longer than usual.

Please note: If you are planning a journey between the North and London on LNER services, we strongly advise you to use LNER services to and from Peterborough and apply a search filter to specify travel via Peterborough. This will give you journeys including the connecting bus to / from Bedford. Please avoid travelling via Sheffield, Derby or Chesterfield if possible due to extremely high customer numbers on this route.
