Trains to run overnight and road closures on hold ahead of Queen's funeral

Trains will run through the night and major road closures have been paused to ease journeys for mourners visiting London to pay their respects to the Queen. Network Rail said limited trains will operate overnight from Wednesday night while Her Majesty is lying in state in Westminster Hall.

There will also be extra daytime services. The PA news agency said it understands around 200 daily services will be added to timetables. They will be displayed on online journey planners.

A Network Rail spokesman said: “The rail industry is doing all it can to ensure people can travel to pay their respects during the period of mourning. Where possible, we will be running some extra services, including a very limited service operating through the night on some routes, and postponing engineering work. Customers should check journey planners for the most up-to-date information.”
