On Saturday, East Midlands Railway services between Norwich and Liverpool Lime Street will operate on an amended timetable, with trains from “mid-morning not calling at Sheffield but calling additionally at Dronfield, Alfreton, Langley Mill, Ilkeston and Bamford, to serve Northern passengers”.
Trains on the same service, on Sunday, will call additionally at Alfreton, Langley Mill and Ilkeston, to serve Northern passengers.
East Midlands Railway trains will start and terminate at Sheffield, Network Rail said, but passengers travelling beyond Sheffield can “use other operators’ services”.
CrossCountry services between Derby, Chesterfield and Sheffield will be “re-timed by a few minutes,” Network Rail said.
It added: “Preparation work in recent weeks has meant Dore and Totley station’s car park being used as a project compound.
“Alternative parking is available at Abbeydale Badminton Club (to the rear of Abbeydale Sports Club) and accessible drop-off and pick-up points have been provided at Ladies Spring Grove.”
The station platforms will not be accessible this weekend.
The project was originally due to take place in March, but was postponed and is now set to be completed in December.
Grainger added: “Replacing this life-expired bridge will help continue the safe and reliable operation of the railway for decades to come.
“We appreciate that this is the second time we’ve asked people to adjust their travel plans and parking arrangements, and we’re very sorry for any inconvenience.”
Network Rail is “working closely with train operators to minimise disruption,” he said.
