In addition to this, engineering work in London will have a knock on effect on the number of passengers Northern will carry over the weekend.

London Kings Cross station is closed on the Saturday and Sunday due to planned engineering works. LNER will be running a limited service to Peterborough with no onward connections to London and Grand Central running no service.

Therefore, Northern services which connect with East Midlands Railway services to and from London at Sheffield are expected to be extremely busy.
