Major Train Disruption this Easter 2015 Friday 3-Mon 6 April London Midland

How might this affect you?

TRAVEL TIPS
1 Plan for longer journey times. For example, replacement buses running half hourly.
2 Take less luggage as you may be going from train to bus and making more changes than usual.
3 Wheelchair users may need to notify more people they need help.
4 Note it in your diary, even if you don't expect to travel, in case you get a last minute invitation or somebody is visiting you or a meeting and could be late.

Who is affected?
London Midland, Virgin trains, Southern trains.
The leaflet tells you about replacement buses/coaches, and alternative routes.

What's in it for me?
The announcements on the trains keep telling us commuters that we will get longer trains with 25% more capacity, so more chance of getting a seat, or, even as the numbers of people travelling increases, at least we won't have fewer chances of a seat.

Pick up a leaflet from the racks in the stations.
