• Vast majority of the rail network – over 95% – will be open for business as usual over the August Bank Holiday
• Some routes will be affected by the upgrade works taking place, so passengers should plan ahead
• The railway expects people to follow government guidance and out of respect for others, wear a face covering in busy indoor settings unless they are exempt

Network Rail is today (23 August) reminding passengers that the vast majority of Britain’s rail network (over 95%) will be open for business as usual this coming Bank Holiday weekend, allowing them to reconnect with family, friends and their favourite holiday destinations.

With domestic tourism in high demand, Network Rail’s bank holiday engineering work has been planned to minimise disruption to passengers with very few routes impacted, though passengers are reminded to check their journeys in advance as some upgrade works will be taking place.
