Replacement buses between King's Lynn and Ely as engineering works continue

There will be replacement buses between Lynn and Ely this weekend due to ongoing engineering works taking place.

Engineers will be working on the construction of a new train sidings near Lynn's station with the Tennyson Avenue level crossing being closed for the second weekend this month.

Great Northern Rail has announced on its website that buses will replace trains on Saturday 22 until 11.59pm on Sunday 23.

Residents living near the level crossing had been informed by Network Rail that the closure was necessary to enable engineering trains to deliver materials to the site.

Mini-buses will again take pedestrians from one side of the crossing to the other.

Great Northern has said bicycles are not allowed on rail replacement bus services at any time, unless fully folded.

The rail service also states those travelling should have a valid train ticket before getting on the bus.
