This major London train station will be hit by a six-day closure over the 2026 Easter bank holiday weekend

"Euston will close from April 3 (Good Friday) through to Wednesday April 8. During this six-day period, all Avanti West Coast or London Northwestern Railway services south of Milton Keynes Central will be replaced by buses. Customers are advised that all trips to the northwest from Euston will likely take longer and be busier, as well as involve either more changes and/or rail replacement buses."

"Network Rail has said that 'a major programme of essential upgrades' is scheduled for the West Coast Main Line between London and Milton Keynes. In practice, £8.4m of essential track work is set to take place at Willesden and signalling upgrades worth over £7m are coming to (just south of) Leighton Buzzard. Overhead line equipment is being replaced in Wembley, bridge waterproofing is being undertaken at Ledburn and Harrow & Wealdstone station is getting canopy and platform upgrades."

"The WCML runs between London and Glasgow, serving destinations such as Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh. The line is one of the busiest mixed-use railways in all of Europe."

Euston station, London's 10th-busiest train station, will close from April 3 to April 8 for essential infrastructure upgrades on the West Coast Main Line. All Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway services south of Milton Keynes Central will be replaced by buses during this period. Additional service suspensions include no trains between Preston and Lancaster on April 4-5, and Lioness Overground closures on April 4-5. The upgrades include £8.4m of track work at Willesden, £7m signalling improvements near Leighton Buzzard, overhead line equipment replacement in Wembley, bridge waterproofing at Ledburn, and station upgrades at Harrow & Wealdstone. These works form part of a £400m project to enhance West Coast Main Line reliability.
