This means services will not run between Nottingham and Norwich - which runs through Peterborough - and between Peterborough and Lincoln.

Rail operators also yesterday (Monday) issued a reminder to passengers about the first planned closure of the East Coast Main Line - which runs between Peterborough and London - in 20 years a part of a £1 billion investment.

Passengers are being urged not to travel on services which start or terminate in London on August 24/25. Instead, the advice is to travel on either the Friday before or Tuesday after, as there will also be a heavily reduced service on the Monday.

The bank holiday works will lead to quicker and more reliable journeys, according to Network Rail, with more services for commuters.
