Rail passengers in Rickmansworth face a day of disruption this Sunday, 7 June, as Chiltern Railways cancels all train services on the Aylesbury to London Marylebone line via Amersham. Engineering works forcing the closure of the Euston to Birmingham New Street route have prompted the operator to replace trains with buses and focus resources on an enhanced service between Birmingham Moor Street and the capital.
The rail replacement buses will run between Amersham and Aylesbury Vale Parkway, stopping at Great Missenden, Wendover, and Stoke Mandeville. At Amersham, travellers can connect with London Underground Metropolitan Line services. Chiltern Railways is advising anyone planning to travel to check updated journey planners in advance, warning that remaining services are expected to be very busy as the operator runs longer and extra trains between Birmingham and Marylebone.
Further bus replacements have been arranged at Kings Sutton, Hatton, and Lapworth because the enhanced Birmingham service will use trains too long for those platforms. Details of the Sunday changes and the connecting bus timetables are available on the Chiltern Railways website. The line through Rickmansworth has been hit by similar disruption earlier this year, with April seeing comparable engineering closures on the West Coast Main Line.
