Virgin Bank Holiday trains

Network Rail capital work means changes to Virgin Trains services over the May Day Bank Holiday next weekend.  There will be normal services all day on Friday and Bank Holiday Monday afternoon and evening.  

On Saturday 5 May after 08:00 there will be no train services between Liverpool and Crewe although a replacement coach service will run. 

Because of route improvement work between Crewe and Warrington from 11:00 and between Crewe and Wigan after 18:00, Birmingham to Scotland services will be diverted and terminate at Carlisle.  Replacement coaches will then convey passengers to Edinburgh or Glasgow.  Virgin is suggesting that passengers travelling between London and Scotland should use the East Coast route.

On Sunday 6 May route improvement work will take place all day at various locations between Rugby and Euston.  An approximate hourly service will run from Nuneaton to Euston calling at Coventry for connections to the West Midlands.  Chester and North Wales services will run between Holyhead and Crewe.  Passengers travelling between London and Liverpool are advised to travel via and change at Manchester and Nuneaton.  The route between Crewe and Glasgow is closed with bus with connections available.

On the Monday normal services are due to return from 12:00. www.virgintrains.co.uk
