TRAIN passengers have been warned of future rail closures after Easter work set the stage for a large programme of upgrades.
Large sections of the railway in the North of England were under-construction this weekend between Good Friday and Easter Monday, with London Euston also closed.
Overhead electric cables in several areas were upgraded, as well as key improvements to bridges, tunnels and trackside equipment.
Martin Frobisher, managing director of Network Rail’s London North Western route, said: “I’d like to thank passengers for their patience while we carried out our vital Railway Upgrade Plan work over the Easter break.
"Thousands of Network Rail staff worked around the clock, so services could get back to normal this morning.
"This has laid a solid foundation for more railway upgrades during the early May bank holiday (4-6 May).”
Passengers are advised to plan their journeys ahead of time for the next bank holiday.
Euston station will again be closed to main line services along with sections of the West Coast main line.
