August Bank Holiday weekend 2026:
Starting at 22:00 on Saturday 29 August, continuing all day on Sunday 30 August, and finishing at 08:00 on Monday 31 August, major East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP) engineering work will be taking place between London Kings Cross and Peterborough. During this time, no trains will be able to run between Potters Bar and Peterborough / Royston, and between Stevenage and Hertford North. This will significantly disrupt local journeys, and also longer distance journeys on the East Coast Main Line between the north-east and London Kings Cross. More information and travel advice can be found on our engineering page.
