“We ask passengers to check station platform displays, listen for announcements, and allow extra time for their journey.
“Motorists are asked to be vigilant for extra pedestrians and buses around all impacted train stations.
“Our signals team is monitoring conditions in the area and will adjust traffic lights to assist with bus movements.”
