If you do travel, LNR tickets are being accepted on Avanti West Coast services between Birmingham New Street and London Euston; between Milton Keynes Central and Crewe; and between Liverpool Lime Street and Crewe.

Following this week's record temperatures disruption is expected on some London Northwestern Railway routes on Saturday 27 June. Details on how hot weather can affect trains can be found on the Network Rail website .

Ticket Easements:

- LNR tickets dated Tuesday 23 June, Wednesday 24 June, Thursday 25 June or Friday 26 June can be used at no extra cost on any LNR service up to and including Tuesday 30 June. If you no longer wish to travel, tickets on these dates are eligible for a full refund from where you bought your ticket. Refunds must be applied for within 28 days. No admin fee will be charged.

If you do need to travel, please follow our advice for travelling during hot weather:

  • Check before you travel and allow extra time for your journey.
  • Carry a bottle of water with you and aim to stand in the shade where possible when waiting for your train.
  • If you feel unwell, do not board a train. Please speak to a member of staff or use a help point for further assistance.
  • If you feel unwell onboard, please speak to a member of staff. Do not pull the emergency alarm - help can be provided more quickly at a station platform.
