"Network Rail said a large section of the railway south of Peterborough will be closed between Saturday and Sunday. This was due to in-cab digital signalling being installed as part of a 1.4bn East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP), which aimed to create greener, safer and more reliable journeys for passengers. As a result, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) will have rail replacement coaches between Peterborough and Bedford, where customers can join train services to London St Pancras."
"Other works taking place on the same weekend include track renewal at Letchworth Garden City, rerailing at Welwyn and Wymondley and drainage improvements at Stevenage. This means there will be no Grand Central services, while Hull Trains will operate an amended service running to and from London St Pancras. In addition, there will be no Thameslink or Great Northern trains between Potters Bar and Peterborough/Royston, or between Hertford North and Stevenage."
Planned signalling upgrade work will close a large section of railway south of Peterborough between Saturday and Sunday for installation of in-cab digital signalling as part of the £1.4bn East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP). LNER will provide rail replacement coaches between Peterborough and Bedford for connections to London St Pancras. Additional weekend works include track renewal at Letchworth Garden City, rerailing at Welwyn and Wymondley, and drainage improvements at Stevenage. Grand Central services will not run and Hull Trains will operate an amended service to and from London St Pancras. Thameslink and Great Northern trains will be suspended on specified sections, with buses replacing some services before 09:40 BST on Sunday. Further information is available from Network Rail.
