Station Message
Engineering work is taking place on various weekends on the West Coast Main Line from 29 March 2025 until Sunday 8 June 2025.
The replacement bus locations have been changed to accomodate the increased number of buses running to and from Edinburgh station:
- Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express buses will drop off on Jeffrey Street and pick up from Market Street
- CrossCountry buses will drop off on Market Street and pick up from Jeffrey Street
This does, however, change for one weekend, between Saturday 3 May and Monday 5 May, whereby all rail replacement buses will drop off and pick up from St Andrews Square.
Please note, these locations are only during the planned engineering works. The replacement bus locations will be in the usual location during live disruption incidents.
