UK Rail Disruptions & Other Info

  • Jul 28 to Aug 11
    Repair works to the embankments at Crewkerne impact the routes to / from Crewkerne

    Period:Monday, July 28, 2025 to Monday, August 11, 2025
    Operators:South Western Railway
    Related Information:From Monday 28 July, Network Rail are carrying out repair works to the embankments at Crewkerne. This means trains between Exeter St Davids and London Waterloo will run non-stop between Axminster and Yeovil Junction, and not call at Crewkerne station. Rail replacement buses will run between Axminster and Yeovil Junction, calling at Crewkerne, in both directions. At present, it is expected train services will resume at Crewkerne from Monday 11 August. This is in line with a reduced temporary timetable that South Western Railway has introduced between Exeter St Davids and London Waterloo. One train will run every two hours between Exeter St Davids and London Waterloo. Journeys will take longer than normal. These timetable changes will be in place until further notice. Customer advice: If you're travelling by a replacement bus, your journey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete using this service. The car park at Crewkerne station will be reduced to facilitate the rail replacement bus service. The two accessibility parking bays will be temporarily relocated and will be directly in front of the station's main entrance.

  • Aug 2 to Aug 16
    Major engineering work impacts Avanti West Coast services.

    Period:Saturday, August 2, 2025 to Saturday, August 16, 2025
    Operators:Avanti West Coast
    Related Information:Major engineering work means no trains at Stockport, Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent from Saturday 2 to Friday 22 August. We’ll get you to and from these stations by bus instead, but journeys will take longer as a result. Trains between London and Manchester are running, they’ll just take a few minutes longer going by a different route. Our trains to and from Manchester and Liverpool are running less frequently due to these diversions. Less frequent trains between London and Liverpool means a significantly reduced Avanti West Coast timetable at Lichfield Trent Valley and Tamworth. If you’re heading to Wembley on 10 August for the Community Shield, this engineering work might affect your journey. Be sure to plan ahead and check before you travel for the match.
