Regular Chiltern Railway users will have to find alternative routes for their respective destinations after the trainline confirmed they will have 10 weeks of disruptions.

Between August and October this year, services between Aylesbury and Princes Risborough and Aylesbury and Stoke Mandeville will be severely interrupted, as parts of the railway will undergo two stages of improvement works by Network Rail.

The first stage involves permanently repairing a Victorian drainage culvert under the railway in Aylesbury, which was damaged in March and has caused frequent unplanned closures of the line.

To prevent further disruption, the culvert will be repaired during a 10-day railway closure from August 7 to August 18.

This will impact all trains between Aylesbury and Princes Risborough and Aylesbury and Stoke Mandeville.

Rail-replacement buses will be provided, running between Amersham, Great Missenden, Wendover, Stoke Mandeville, Aylesbury, and Aylesbury Vale Parkway where connections can be made to London Underground services.

Immediately afterward between August 19 and October 30, Network Rail and HS2 will move and replace more than a mile of track and signalling equipment on the Chiltern Mainline south of Aylesbury to make way for the new HS2 line that will pass underneath the Chiltern line.

Denise Wetton, Network Rail's Central route director, said: “We know there's never a convenient time to close the railway and we're sorry to passengers in Buckinghamshire who have already suffered from short-notice closures of the line between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury for several months.

“When completed, this vital work will mean more reliable journeys for passengers travelling between Aylesbury and Princes Risborough on a railway that's fit for the future.”
