While much of the rail network will be open this Easter, engineers will be working in key locations to maintain, renew and improve the railway infrastructure to keep services running safety and reliably.  

Passengers are being advised to check before they travel between London and Norwich in late March, April and early May, as weekend services will be affected by works to keep the railway running safely and reliably in future. The engineering work will also mean changes to services on the Sudbury and Braintree lines.

Network Rail’s maintenance teams will be out in force during weekends in February and March to deliver essential work to keep the railway running safely and reliably.

Network Rail has finished delivering a replacement bridge that carries the junction of Downs Park Road and Bodney Road over the railway.

Network Rail engineers will be working  on the West Anglia main line at weekends from mid February which will help keep the railway operating safely for rail services including Stansted Express. 

Passengers on the London Overground Mildmay line, which runs between Stratford and Richmond/Clapham Junction, are being asked to check for closures on part of the route over upcoming weekends.

This winter, weekend engineering work on the Great Eastern and Southend Victoria/Southminster lines are planned to take place which will help keep the railway operating safely for Greater Anglia and Elizabeth line passengers.

Engineers have completed track and station improvement works on the c2c route to help boost reliability and the passenger experience.
