Passengers will be able to travel on a specially-chartered shuttle train between Oxenholme and Windermere on the Lake District railway line this weekend.
Due to essential Network Rail engineering work on the adjoining West Coast main line over the Easter weekend, plans are already in place for a comprehensive bus service to replace trains.
The important rail upgrade work is part of the Great North Rail Project.
Now, with the weather set fair ahead of the Easter bank holiday weekend, a Lakes Line shuttle train has also been arranged for customers to provide they with an additional travel option on Saturday and Sunday.
This Lakes shuttle service, which will be free of charge, was devised by Network Rail, MP Tim Farron and charter operator West Coast Railways. The shuttle train services will be scheduled to depart shortly after the bus replacement services leave.
Passengers are advised to check before they travel at nationalrail.co.uk/westcoast.
