The central London station will be closed over the long weekend while railway upgrades take place on the West Coast Main Line.
A reduced timetable will operate on April 18, Good Friday, and no trains will run between London Euston and Milton Keynes Central on Saturday April 19, Sunday April 20, and Monday April 21.
Scheduled Caledonian Sleeper services will start and terminate at London King’s Cross station over that weekend.
Services will return to normal on Tuesday, April 22.
Passengers are advised to travel before or after the bank holiday weekend to avoid longer journeys and some rail replacement services.
London Euston is the southern terminus of the West Coast Main Line and a gateway from London to destinations like Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Cumbria, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The reason for the closure is that Network Rail is due to carry out major engineering work and upgrades to improve the reliability and efficiency of the railway for both passengers and freight services.
The work includes renewing switches and crossings where there are movable sections of track, and improving track drainage.
Network Rail is also using the station closure to upgrading the toilet facilities in Euston Station and improve signs to make navigating the station easier.
This work includes replacing over 350 metres of track near Hemel Hempstead, and upgrading over 200 metres of drainage near Leighton Buzzard, to prevent flooding and enhance resilience against extreme weather.
A new freight interchange facility in Northampton will be completed, which will have over 5 million square feet of warehouse space and employ up to 7,000 people.
Amanda Webster-Uz, Network Rail’s head of Euston station operations, said:
“There’s a significant amount of work happening over the Easter bank holiday to improve the reliability of the railway for both passengers and freight.
“Whilst the railway to Euston is closed, we’re also taking the opportunity to improve the station itself, which will include improving our signage and upgrading our toilet facilities for customers.
“We’re encouraging passengers to check their journeys in advance and, where possible, travel before or after the Easter weekend.”
