On Saturday, there's a Stafford -Stoke replacement bus. Does anyone have an idea what the engineering work is for ?

Looks primarily like ballast replacement work in the area.

More info here...


Extract(s)...
Starting on Saturday 10 August and taking place each weekend for the next four weeks engineers will be completing £2.5m of essential improvement work through Stoke-on-Trent.
Work will include:

Replacing 3720 tonnes of ballast (the stones on the railway that keep the track in place)

Upgrading 32 bearers, which help the track switches and crossings to stay in place
