Sign up for emails for specific information about how your journey will be impacted

Many customers have told us the most effective way to keep you informed is to email you directly with information that may impact your journey. Please sign up for emails and tell us your home station and normal destination station and we will try to tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Of course there will be posters and leaflets at the stations as work starts but this is our way to make sure you get the information you need.
