Major upgrade work this May

From Saturday 24 May to Sunday 1 June, Network Rail will be carrying out essential engineering work between Rugby and Stafford. This means there's a reduced timetable and longer journey times on some of our routes throughout this week. Less frequent trains can also mean that they're busier than usual. 

Please plan ahead and check before you travel.

* Promotion Final at Wembley 1 June (featuring Oldham Athletic FC)

Trains and stations for these events are expected to be busier than usual.
