Passengers using Midland Mainline services over the coming month are being warned of changes to some routes due to engineering work.
East Midlands Railway (EMR) said travellers should double check timetables between May 27 and June 11 – including the summer half-term – because of the significant impact of what it says will be essential engineering work. The regional operator said the Network Rail work will result in a reduced Monday to Saturday timetable of one train per hour between London St Pancras and Sheffield – which will not call at Derby – and one train per hour between London St Pancras and Derby. Some weekend services will also be affected.
Meanwhile, the Derwent Valley Line will see buses replace trains between Derby and Matlock. Travellers are also being reminded that on May 31 and June 3, members of the ASLEF union will be striking, meaning that there will be no EMR services and no rail replacement buses.
