London Euston station closes for first of three weekends [BBC News]





Date: 17/08/2018

Euston station has been closed for the first of three consecutive weekends as engineers rebuild a junction. There will be no trains to or from the London station on 18-19 August, across the entire Bank Holiday weekend 25-27 August, and 1-2 September. Network Rail is urging people not to travel at all on the West Coast Main Line during these times as the 'vital' work is carried out at North Wembley. About 150,000 people normally use Euston at the weekend. Engineers are replacing track at a major intersection in Wembley - through which about 500 trains pass per day.
