Trains will not be able to run for 16 straight days while Network Rail delivers a critical stage of a bridge replacement project between Saturday 20 July and Sunday 4 August.

A key route over the railway has fully reopened after Network Rail finished delivering a replacement bridge on Kingsbury Road that is designed to last for 120 years.

This May Day bank holiday, the majority of the railway across Anglia will be open for passengers to travel. Whether working, visiting friends or family, or exploring towns or the beauty of the countryside, train services will be running to most destinations.

With a £2.6 billion, five-year funding package for Control Period 7 (CP7), Network Rail’s Anglia route is today (3 April 2024), embarking on a rail improvement plan aimed at delivering a simpler, better, greener railway that provides the best level of train performance possible.  

Passengers are being encouraged to check their journey plans before travelling as important engineering work on the East Suffolk line will take place over three consecutive weekends in April to maintain the reliability and safety of the line.

Much of the railway will be open over Easter for passengers to travel across the region and the country. There are some engineering works taking place and passengers are advised to check before they travel.

Passengers are being encouraged to check before travelling as planned weekend engineering work in March will affect services between Norwich and Ipswich, and between Ipswich and Cambridge/Ely.

A project by Network Rail to replace a 100-year-old bridge on Kingsbury Road in Dalston is reaching an important milestone this coming weekend.
