Engineering Work Hertford East to Broxbourne

For those who travel from Hertford East, Saturday 16th June through to Sunday 24th June might be a good week to be on holiday. Due to major engineering work buses will replace trains between Hertford and Broxbourne for the whole week - there's a replacement timetable on the ONE website. http://www.onerailway.com/templates/ServiceUpdate.aspx?id=2884 I only hope they remember that a bus tends not to hold so many people as a train and make sure to book a whole fleet of them

Well, after a week of using the replacement bus service, I have to say that ... It hasn't been too bad at all. Things got off to a (VERY) wobbly start last Saturday but during the week I've only had to wait maybe 10 minutes for a bus during the morning rush, and I've not had any problems getting home either. Well done to all concerned! If only the trains ran so well.

Deveraux - is this likely to be the case this week as well, only I have just been told that the projected works weren't completed in time? I can't find anything on the interweb though.

I haven't heard anything and, as you say, there's nothing on the ONE website to suggest that the works have over run? I would hope that they had a contingency plan to cover such an eventuality. All I can do is wander down to the station tomorrow morning and see if there are any trains - it might be worth checking the websites before leaving home though.
