From December 11, two trains will run an hour between Euston and Tring, including via Watford Junction, with two an hour also between Euston and Milton Keynes Central.

Two trains will run an hour between Euston and Birmingham – of which one stops at Watford Junction.

Additional services will operate in the morning and evening peaks, LNR added, and this includes at Bushey station.

Amended calling patterns will also “provide better connectivity” for Apsley and Kings Langley commuters and more trains will be stopping at Harrow & Wealdstone in north west London “throughout the day”.

LNR will stop calling at Wembley Central but Southern and Transport for London will continue to serve the station.
