Rail disruption expected as Lincolnshire crossings undergo upgrades

Businesses reliant on East Midlands Railway (EMR) services through Lincolnshire should prepare for travel disruption between Saturday 31 May and Sunday 8 June as Network Rail upgrades four level crossings in the region.

The nearly £1 million investment will affect crossings at Holton le Moor, Brigg, Butterswood, and Little London. To facilitate the works, rail services will be suspended between Cleethorpes and Barnetby, with replacement buses operating during this period.

Key service alterations include the termination of Leicester to Grimsby/Cleethorpes trains at Lincoln, with buses covering the remainder of the route. Additionally, no trains will run between Cleethorpes and Barton-upon-Humber; replacement buses will serve all intermediate stations.

The upgrades are part of a broader programme aimed at enhancing safety and improving long-term network reliability. Businesses and commuters are advised to check journey times and plan for delays during the affected dates.
