Storm Eunice: London Northwestern Railway issues ‘do not travel’ warning for Friday 18 February
Rail operator London Northwestern Railway (LNR) is warning passengers not to travel tomorrow (Fri 18 Feb) due to the impact of Storm Eunice.
LNR will operate a significantly reduced timetable all day due to blanket speed restrictions which will be in place across the network.
To help customers make alternative plans, tickets pre-booked for travel tomorrow will be accepted today (Thursday) and on Saturday instead.
Lawrence Bowman, LNR customer experience director, said:
“Storm Eunice is expected to be one of the biggest storms in recent years and we expect significant disruption to train services.
“The message to our customers is clear – do not use the train on Friday. Customers with tickets for travel on Friday will be able to travel today and Saturday instead.”
The following timetable changes will apply on Friday:
- A significantly reduced service between Birmingham, Northampton and London Euston
- No service between Crewe and London Euston
- No service on the Marston Vale Line between Bedford and Bletchley
With high winds predicted to continue for several days, passengers planning to travel over the weekend are being reminded to check their journeys before setting out.
