At weekends, Northampton is currently the northern terminus of all services from Euston. This is due to a major upgrade of the West Coast Mainline at Rugby where the line is closed every weekend for work to proceed. Passengers for more northerly destinations are transferred to appropriate intermediate stations by bus. The work at Rugby is currently planned to be completed in time for new timetables in December 2008 but doubts have recently been expressed about the ability of Network Rail to complete by then, so it may be Easter 2009 before the new timetable can be implemented.
