THOSE planning to catch a train from Warrington over the bank holiday weekend are being warned of disruption to their journeys.
This is due to improvement works taking place.
From Saturday, May 4, to Monday, May 6, engineers are carrying out major upgrades across the north west.
As a result, passengers travelling between Crewe, Liverpool, Warrington, Runcorn, Wigan, Bolton, Manchester, Preston and Carlisle are advised to check before they travel.
Network Rail says passengers travelling between these dates could have longer journeys, fewer available seats, and may need to use rail replacement buses.
James Dean, passenger director for Network Rail’s North West and Central region, said: “We made great progress on major railway improvements over Easter and I’d like to thank passengers for their continued patience while we carry out more must-do work between May 4 and May 6.
“We know there is never an ideal time to shut the railway but bank holidays continue to be the least disruptive time for us to carry out this essential maintenance.
“With Euston closed our advice is once again to check before you travel over the long weekend, and to plan ahead by checking National Rail Enquiries to see how your journey could be impacted.”
