King's Cross remodelling - The East Coast upgrade

The East Coast Upgrade overview
The multi-million pound investment is set to provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the infrastructure at King’s Cross station, which will see a-mile-and-a-half of track, signalling and overhead line equipment re-thought, re-planned and re-laid.
At the same time, the project will create two new lines by re-opening a disused tunnel on the approach to King’s Cross; increasing the approach from four tracks to six.

Please note that, with the exception of 30 - 31 January, other operators' services may still be running on these dates, however travel restrictions and advisories will be in place.

We are operating a reduced timetable between Monday and Friday during January - see our timetable here.
Disruption in 2021
London King's Cross will be closed, meaning no Grand Central trains will run to/from London, on the following dates:
