East Coast engineering works Jan-Mar

[Deerfold]

I've looked but can't see another thread on this.
Am needing to travel between Yorkshire and Welwyn GC/London quite a lot this winter.

I was shocked to see the advice for 3 of the first 10 weekends of the year was 'Do not travel'. I've booked for another and my journey time had increased by more than 3 hours.

Are they trying to get people to drive?

I mean they need to do engineering work, when would you suggest they do it because it will always be disruptive?

No: Network Rail are fixing and upgrading the railway line at Kings Cross and several other places.

I can only find the DO NOT TRAVEL advice for 2 weekends, which have been disucussed at length; the fact that yiur journey is extended by 3 hours explains why they give that advice!

The LNER site is quite clear as to the levels of disruption planned:

Apart from the diversions via Cambridge this month, other weekends involve reduced services at KGX but that's all (if RTT is to believed, March offers the delights of the Hertford Loop...)

Here’s the existing thread, using your key phrase “do not travel”:

Thank you for the pointer.

As I said in my OP my booking is not for one of those weekends and is still extended by 3 hours.
