One of Britain’s busiest airports has issued a warning that rail links to and from the major transport hub will face disruption this Saturday and Sunday owing to “major engineering works”.
Stansted Airport has announced there will be no direct train service to and from London Liverpool Street on 9 and 10 May, urging passengers to use an alternative route.
In a message posted on X, the airport explained that “due to planned engineering works” only limited rail replacement services will be available. “There will be no direct train service to and from London Liverpool Street during this time, and passengers travelling to London will be advised to travel via Cambridge and London King’s Cross,” the airport’s statement added.
Stansted Express travellers are being directed to journey via Cambridge and King’s Cross instead, reports the Express.
A notice on the airport’s website stated: “Due to engineering work between Waltham Cross and Stansted Airport, direct train services to and from the airport will not operate on Saturday 9 May and Sunday 10 May. You will need to travel via London Kings Cross and Cambridge.
“We strongly recommend visiting the National Rail website for the latest updates to help you plan your journey in advance and avoid disruption.”
Greater Anglia stated: “Network Rail carries out essential engineering works across the Greater Anglia network to maintain and improve the railway, helping ensure your journeys run smoothly and reliably. The easiest way to check if your journey is impacted by engineering works is through our booking engine and app.”
Further disruption is expected at additional locations on Saturday, 9 May, including Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge North to Thetford/Peterborough. On Sunday, 10 May, passengers travelling through Bishops Stortford/Hertford East to Waltham Cross will also face disruption.
