PASSENGERS travelling south from Lichfield Trent Valley are being reminded of major disruption on the West Coast Main Line this weekend.
A bridge across the line near Watford is being removed after an inspection found it required urgent intervention.
It will mean the tracks will be closed in both directions from midnight tomorrow (19th September) until 4pm on Sunday.
The disruption will impact both Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway services.
Gary Walsh, director for Network Rail's West Coast South route said:
"Following a routine safety inspection, Network Rail closed the footbridge at Oxhey Grange after identifying significant deterioration of the structure.
"The safety of residents, bridge users, railway colleagues and passengers remains our top priority, and further assessments have shown the bridge now needs to be removed as soon as possible.
"We know this work will disrupt journeys and we're sorry for the inconvenience."
