Written Answers
Euston Station: Closures
Asked by: Andrew Ranger (Labour - Wrexham)
Tuesday 6th May 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of bank holiday weekend closures of Euston Station on passengers; and what steps she is taking to ensure the accessibility of major rail hubs during periods of high demand.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Network Rail advises that London Euston will be closed over the early May Bank Holiday over Sunday 4 and Monday 5 May and with a reduced service on Saturday 3 May whilst work takes place to upgrade track and drainage and carry out maintenance work to help improve performance for passengers and freight for future journeys. Bank Holidays are chosen to carry out work as it allows more time for work to take place whilst fewer passengers are travelling.

Trains will start and finish at Milton Keynes where bus replacement services will run to and from Bedford for onward travel to London St Pancras.

Passengers are being encouraged to check before they travel at National Rail Enquiries. An advertising campaign has taken place across ticket booking sites, a press release has been issued, stakeholders have been updated and there have been frequent social media posts to ensure passengers had awareness of the changes to journeys.

UK City of Culture
Asked by: Andrew Ranger (Labour - Wrexham)
Thursday 8th May 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when guidance will be released for cites wanting to bid for the 2029 city of culture competition.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government’s approach to a future UK City of Culture competition will be announced in due course.
