Engineering work is taking place overnight between Chester and Manchester Piccadilly from Monday evening until Friday morning, closing some lines.

As a result, the 21:04 (Monday to Thursday) Birmingham International to Manchester Piccadilly will terminate at Warrington Bank Quay. Replacement buses will run between Warrington Bank Quay and Manchester Piccadilly.

The 00:32 (Tuesday to Friday) Manchester Piccadilly to Chester service will not run, and will be replaced by a bus.
