Suggested diversions
Below is a list of the suggested diversions that we are aware of. We hope these will make it a little easier for you to amend your routes. Take care to view the whole document, there might be additional information that may help you. Please also note that, whilst we have taken every care to ensure these suggested diversions are appropriate, it is important to check any restrictions or Network Rail structures along any diverted routes.
We will continue to add to these but if you have any others you feel would be useful to add here, please let us know.
