 The station is expected to reopen on Monday morning |
Temporary rail timetables are to operate on services travelling in and out of Edinburgh's Waverley station this weekend. The station is being closed to trains all day Saturday and Sunday while vital work is carried out.
The closure has been arranged to allow the completion of a �34m project renewing signalling and other control gear.
About 800 services are affected, with buses in place to ferry passengers.
However, other facilities like shops and booking counters will remain open within the station.
Work on the project started two years ago but Network Rail need to stop all services while it converts to a new computerised system and tests it before the Monday morning rush hour.
All trains will start and finish at Edinburgh Haymarket for the weekend, while a fleet of 30 buses will ferry passengers to connecting train services. Buses will also run from Edinburgh Waverley.
