## Key points

- Sheffield-Manchester trains face weekend cancellations and diversions.
- A 73-tonne bridge deck will be installed at Beauchief.
- Replacement buses and altered services are planned.

## Summary

A bridge replacement at Beauchief in Sheffield will disrupt rail travel on Saturday and Sunday, with direct TransPennine Express services between Sheffield and Manchester cancelled. Network Rail says the work is needed to keep the railway safe and reliable, and passengers are being advised to use diverted trains and replacement buses.

A 73-tonne deck will be lifted into place over the River Sheaf, alongside renewal of nearly 200ft (60m) of track. Services on several routes will be diverted, shortened or run to amended timetables; buses will connect Sheffield with Dronfield and Bamford, and tickets will be accepted on some East Midlands Railway services. Dore and Totley station platforms will be inaccessible, and its car park is being used as a project compound. The work, now due to finish in December, was postponed from March.
