Train passengers face significant disruptions over the Easter holiday due to ongoing engineering works across over 300 projects in Britain. Major London stations, including Victoria, will experience service changes, with Southeastern trains not operating there for the holiday period. Despite the disruptions, Network Rail assures that most of the rail network remains operational. An investment of 86 million is planned for these upgrades. Road congestion is expected as millions will be driving, particularly on Good Friday and Saturday, necessitating advance planning for travelers.
Helen Hamlin emphasized that 'the vast majority of the rail network will be open as usual,' but advised passengers to check for specific service changes ahead of travel.
Network Rail’s investment of £86 million over the Easter period aims to minimize disruption during the holiday, leveraging decreased passenger numbers for essential upgrades.
Drivers need to prepare for significant congestion, particularly around city centers and major routes, as millions take to the roads during the Easter getaway.
With engineering works scheduled at various locations, Network Rail urged early planning and checking of train services to manage changes effectively.
