Network Rail are carrying out two upgrade projects over the weekend of Saturday, 11 May and Sunday, 12 May.
One of the jobs will take place at Hull Paragon station and involves changing the track on platform 7. This follows work on upgrading track on platforms 2-5, which took place back in April 2022.
Meanwhile, in Howden, engineers will be replacing points, the equipment that enables trains to change between different tracks.
Network Rail believes that passengers will benefit from more comfortable and less bumpy journeys once the works are complete.
However, the work will require sections of the line between Hull and Doncaster to be closed during the weekend.
The line is used by four passenger train operating companies, namely Hull Trains, LNER, Northern and TransPennine Express. All operators will be unable to run services as usual and some passengers will therefore need to use rail replacement buses for all or part of their journey.
Service Changes
Hull Trains: Buses will replace trains between Brough and Hull. London to Hull trains will operate via Goole and terminate at Brough.
LNER: Between Doncaster and Hull, buses will be used instead of trains.
Northern: Passengers will be required to use replacement bus services if travelling between Goole / Selby / Beverley and Hull.
TransPennine Express: Services to Hull will only operate as far as Selby, where Hull-bound customers will need to transfer to rail replacement buses.
There will also be disruption for motorists, as the level crossing next to Howden station will be shut for the duration of the work.
Passengers have been told to visit https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ to confirm how their journey will be affected.
Our engineers will be working around the clock over this weekend to make essential improvements to the railway between Hull and Doncaster.
The upgrades will improve the experience of passengers, resulting in a more reliable railway and smoother journeys.
We would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding and we want to encourage passengers to check before they travel via National Rail Enquires or their train operator while the work is underway.
