Passengers travelling between Lincoln and Sheffield urged to check before they travel
- Region & Route:
- | Eastern
Network Rail is advising passengers travelling between Lincoln and Sheffield to check before they travel as engineering work begins this weekend.
The work, which begins on Saturday and will be completed by Monday, 19 June, will see the renewal of switches and crossings, more commonly known as ‘points’ - the equipment which allows trains to move from one piece of track to another.
During the work, trains will be unable to call at stations between Kiveton Park and Lincoln and a bus replacement service will be in operation.
Passengers are being advised to check nationalrail.co.uk before they travel and to allow extra time for their journeys.

We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network.
