PEOPLE travelling to and from London over the Easter Bank Holiday from stations in Comet country can expect some delays because King's Cross Station is closed.
It will mean all trains will start and end at Finsbury Park and travellers having to use the Underground.
The move to close King's Cross is because work has reached a critical stage in the ongoing £20 million programme to improve the reliability of the overhead lines between London and Hitchin.
The station will be closed between midday on Saturday to midday on Monday and again over the May Day Bank Holiday and Spring Bank Holiday weekends.
