PASSENGERS are being reminded of disruption during a three-day closure of the Cross City Line.
No trains will run between Lichfield Trent Valley and Birmingham New Street from tomorrow (29th May) to Sunday due to work to install a new HS2 viaduct.
Rail replacement buses will be in place during the line closure.
Patrick Cawley, director for On Network Works at Network Rail and HS2, said:
“We’re reminding passengers to plan ahead for a three-day closure on the Cross City Line between Birmingham and Lichfield to enable the safe installation of a new HS2 viaduct over the existing railway.
“This is a significant milestone in the delivery of HS2 at Curzon Street. While there will be some disruption, we’ve worked closely with partners to keep people moving and minimise the impact as much as possible.”
Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director for West Midlands Railway, said:
“We want to thank passengers for their patience while this major piece of engineering work is carried out and the northern section of the Cross City Line is closed.
“Rail replacement buses will be running during the closure. Passengers are encouraged to check their travel before setting out.”
