Work to remove an old footbridge over a busy section of the Midland Mainline has begun, with disruption expected until Monday.
Network Rail said the structure at Harlington station in Bedfordshire would be taken down after a new one – designed to last 120 years – opened on 9 April.
The work, part of a series of improvements, means buses are replacing Thameslink trains between Bedford and Harpenden, until 20 April.
Dan Matthews, Network Rail’s operations director said: “By co-ordinating this work with other key upgrades along the route, we are keeping disruption to a minimum and helping passengers see the benefits as quickly as possible.”
