As a result of the ongoing impact of Covid, services on the Abbey, Marston Vale and Birmingham New Street – Birmingham International lines have been running to rail replacement / amended timetables. With the situation beginning to improve, we are now in a position to reinstate some services on these routes. Please see a full summary of what’s changing below:
Marston Vale Line (Bletchley - Bedford)
From Monday 14 February, a reduced train service will resume on the Marston Vale line (Monday – Saturday). This will continue to be supplemented by rail replacement buses.
Abbey Line (Watford Junction - St Albans Abbey)
From Monday 21 February, the majority of weekday services will be served by train (with the exception of 2 evening services in each direction). A full train timetable will run on weekends.
Birmingham New Street – Birmingham International
From Monday 21 February, a full timetable will resume between Birmingham New Street – Birmingham International, meaning the services removed in early January will be reinstated.
