Network Rail, East Midlands Railway and the Friends of Beeston Station demonstrated strong partnership working to benefit Beeston station with a community volunteer day.

Railway improvement work taking place between Leicester and Kettering will affect journeys over the next two weekends (6-7 and 13-14 June).

Progress linked to the Midland Main Line Electrification programme is delivering lasting benefits for rail freight – strengthening one of the UK’s most important cross‑country corridors and unlocking greater flexibility for freight operators.

Passengers using the Thameslink platforms at London St Pancras are being advised that step-free access will be temporarily unavailable while major refurbishment work takes place to improve the long-term reliability of the station’s lifts.

Railway improvement work will mean no Thameslink trains running between Bedford and Mill Hill Broadway in north London this weekend (Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May), while East Midlands Railway (EMR) services will not run south of Bedford.

An event has been held to mark the official opening of Harlington station’s new footbridge.
