Chiltern Railways will operate an amended timetable on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 June.
Planned engineering work will be taking place on the route between London Euston and Birmingham New Street, so the operator will run more (and longer) trains between London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, while there will be no service to some stations on the Chiltern Railways route.
Service alterations
Chiltern Railways will run an enhanced service on both days between Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, with longer and some extra trains.
Nevertheless, the operator expects the trains to be much busier than usual.
The operator has explained that it is not possible to run this enhanced service and still call at Wembley Stadium station, so this station will remain closed for the whole weekend.
Chiltern has apologised for the inconvenience this will cause.
Services will also call at Kings Sutton, Hatton and Lapworth, due to the length of the trains. Rail replacement buses will run, only for local journeys to and from these stations:
- Bicester North – Kings Sutton – Banbury
- Warwick Parkway – Hatton – Lapworth – Dorridge
Chiltern Railways services will not run between Leamington Spa and stations to Stratford-upon-Avon throughout the weekend.
Buses will replace trains as follows, providing a connection with trains at Leamington Spa:
- Leamington Spa – Warwick – Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway – Stratford-upon-Avon
Chiltern Railways trains will not run between London Marylebone and Aylesbury Vale Parkway (via Amersham).
Rail replacement buses will run as follows, providing a connection with trains to and from London Marylebone at Beaconsfield:
- Beaconsfield – Amersham – Great Missenden – Wendover – Stoke Mandeville – Aylesbury – Aylesbury Vale Parkway
Advie to passengers travelling directly between Aylesbury and London Marylebone is to take the hourly direct services that run via High Wycombe.
