Major improvement works are being carried out on the line, which runs between London Euston and Glasgow Central, with stops at 49 stations, including Motherwell, Watford and Milton Keynes

It is hoped the work will lead to quicker journey times and more services, however, in the short-term it means track closures.

What services are delayed?

Engineering works are being carried out on different parts of the West Coast Main Line over the next two months, peaking in April.

Works are due to be carried out most days in March and throughout the whole of April.

On most days, works being carried out mean that small adjustments are being made to routes, however, bigger works in April will lead to some cancellations.
