National Rail engineers will be carrying out major railway works this weekend – with no trains running between London Euston and Milton Keynes on Sunday, May 4 and Monday, May️ 5.

East Midlands Railway (EMR) have issued a warning to passengers, with these works set to result in much busier EMR services over the bank holiday weekend – including trains calling at Chesterfield, Derby and Long Eaton.
