Euston shut for Easter

Post by expoultryboy » Thu Feb 17, 2022 8:35 pm

Was planning a trip to London at Easter, thursday to sunday taking in the west ham game . Noticed there will be no trains in/out of euston over the easter weekend . Just thought I'd post this in case any other clarets were planning going on the train .

Good to know. I'm coming from Australia and plan to attend West Ham and then wanted to get a train to Manchester after the game for a week in the north before game against Wolves. What would be best alternative way to get there if Euston is closed?

They are loads of options including the way you have suggested, from Marylebone via Birmingham, from St Pancras via Sheffield or from kings cross via Doncaster (with LNER or grand central) or Leeds (LNER) then Trans pennine to manchester.
Assuming all other London stations and routes are open of course.
