Train travellers planning a getaway have also been warned of more than 600 sets of engineering work being carried out this weekend.
London Euston will be closed on Sunday, adding several hours to many long-distance journeys. Travellers from Preston to Euston will divert via Milton Keynes, Bedford and St Pancras, with those wishing to get to Euston advised to get the Tube. Jake Kelly, Network Rail’s system operator director, said: “The majority of the rail network will be open as usual for passengers travelling over the bank holiday weekend, but we do have some vital upgrade work taking place.”
He added: “There’s never a good time to impact rail services, but with fewer passengers typically travelling over the bank holidays, we have the opportunity to complete vital work while minimising disruption.”
