EMR Warns of Easter Train Crowds, Offers Travel Tips

On April 2nd, East Midlands Railway is warning folks their trains will pack out over Easter,

thanks to engineering blocking the West Coast mainline. That shutdown runs from Friday, April 3rd

through Wednesday, April 8th, pushing extra riders onto EMR lines like Sheffield to Derby to London

St. St. St. St. Pancras and Liverpool through Manchester to Sheffield. Station such as London St. Pancras,

Sheffield, Bedford and Derby will see way more crowds than normal. Expect queues at St. Pancras

where you might not snag your plan train, and on Monday, April 6th, the stoke to Derby's stretch

turns chaotic with. Football fans flooding in. Travelers heading there should dodge stoke from 8am

to 1pm or Derby from 5pm to 7pm unless you have to go. Impacts hit hearts and folks rerouting

from the West Coast squeeze everyone else. Rail bosses urge planning ahead, patting your schedule

with extra time and double checking updates before you roll out. West Coast regular should hop

buses from Milton Keynes to Bedford, then link up with EMR or Tamsling to reach St. Pancras.

East Midlands is ready to roll as usual, but brace for the bussel. Stay smart, check apps,

and keep those journeys smooth this holiday.
