Over the next two years, Network Rail will be undertaking some major works on the East Coast main line, including reconfiguring King's Cross station, replacing the 40-year-old signalling system, adding a new platform at Stevenage for the Hertford Loop trains, and building a grade separated junction north of Peterborough.
As part of the works, there will be no trains south of Peterborough on the Saturday and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend and passengers are advised not to travel on those days. Fen line trains will terminate at Cambridge; the normal service between there and Liverpool Street will be running but it is likely to be extremely busy and it does not connect well with the King's Lynn services.

The Passenger Benefit Fund has £80,000 to spend on each of the stations on our line. Please let us know what you think passengers travelling from your station need.
Note that Cambridge North and Ely are Greater Anglia stations, so for those only "wider benefits" are eligible.
We represent the interests of users of the Fen Line to the management of the franchise holders and Network Rail.
We monitor to ensure that services offered are maintained and improved.
We inform our members of the latest developments.
The AGM takes place each November. Representatives of the rail industry attend to give members the opportunity to raise issues with key staff from across the network.
The 2019 AGM will be held at the Discover Downham Heritage Centre, Priory Road, Downham Market on Saturday 16th November at 2pm.
FLUA works to develop services on the King's Lynn to Cambridge line.
We seek the best for users from the fast-changing railway scene by working with all parties in the rail industry and with other relevant bodies in the development of the Thameslink Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) franchise on the Fen Line.
There are seven Fen Line stations: King's Lynn, Watlington, Downham Market, Littleport, Ely, Waterbeach, and Cambridge North.
Electric trains from Fen Line stations to Cambridge and London King's Cross are run by
Great Northern for commuters, business and leisure users.
