It will see services disrupted on 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th October.

Gary Walsh, Network Rail's West Coast South route director, said:

> "The West Coast Main Line is one of Britain's most important railways, carrying millions of passengers and freight every year. Renewing ageing track now will help deliver a more reliable railway with fewer delays for years to come.  
>  
> "We're grateful to passengers for their patience while this essential work takes place and would encourage anyone travelling to plan ahead and check their journey."
