London Northwestern Railway: Check your train ahead of timetable change

Rail passengers across the London Northwestern Railway network are being urged to check their train times as many timetables change this weekend.

From Sunday 15 May, new departure times will apply on many routes across the region as the twice-yearly rail industry timetable change comes into effect.

Annamaria Izzard, head of stations for London Northwestern Railway, said: "From this Sunday there will be new departure times on a number of routes across the network and I urge our customers to check ahead.

"All the new timetables are now in online journey planners meaning it is easy for passengers to check their routes and avoid being left behind."

Among the changes from Sunday 15 May are:

• A full Monday-Saturday train service is reinstated on the Marston Vale Line between Bedford and Bletchley
• To accommodate changes by other operators, fewer peak trains will run between Watford Junction and London Euston on weekdays
• Due to rerouting, journey times between Crewe and Birmingham New Street will increase slightly with additional calls at Tame Bridge Parkway

The new timetables are available to view at www.lnr.uk/timetables
