    Work has already started on parts of a £1.2bn upgrade, which is aimed at improving reliability and punctuality for passengers.

    Replacing track on the approach to London King's Cross station is to take place from 1 March for three months, resulting in some services being disrupted.

    LNER, Great Northern, Thameslink, Hull Trains and Grand Central services will all see reduced peak services, with passengers being asked to travel at quieter times.

    As well as a redesign of the track going into King's Cross, a new tunnel is to be built near Peterborough to move freight trains.

    That work is set to take place in January.

    More details of the new-look timetables are to be released in the coming months, Network Rail added.
