Chiltern Railways customers reminded of upcoming line closure due to engineering works this Sunday

Customers travelling with Chiltern Railways are being reminded of major engineering works affecting journeys on Sunday 20 July.

Rail replacement buses will operate in both directions between Warwick Parkway and Solihull until 4pm on Sunday 20 July due to track works in the Dorridge area. The works will keep the railway and journeys safe and reliable in the future.

The timing of this work is scheduled outside of busy travel periods to minimise disruption and avoid dates where sporting events are planned.

Journeys through the affected area will take longer than usual until the lines at Dorridge reopen late afternoon.

Rail replacement buses will operate as follows, connecting with trains to/from Birmingham at Solihull and to/from Marylebone at Warwick Parkway:

• Warwick Parkway - Dorridge - Solihull
• Warwick Parkway - Hatton - Lapworth - Dorridge - Solihull

The first train services to run after the line reopens at 4pm are as follows:

• Marylebone - Birmingham Moor Street departing at 3pm
• Birmingham Moor Street – Marylebone departing at 4.37pm

Customers are advised to allow extra time for their journey, book tickets in advance and check their journey before travelling. Further details can be found on the Chiltern Railways website.
