One of Londons busiest train stations will be closed for three consecutive weekends, sparking warnings from rail bosses.
People travelling to the capital via Euston have been urged not to make the trip while the station is shut for work on the tracks.
It will be closed on August 18-19, August 25-27 including the bank holiday Monday, and September 1-2.
Network Rail said the shutdown was necessary to allow North Wembley junction to be replaced.
The three weekends have been selected to minimise the impact on passengers.

Martin Frobisher, managing director for Network Rails London North Western route said: There is never an ideal time to shut the railway but these three weekends are the least disruptive times to do it.

We have worked together for the past three years with train operators to carefully plan this closure of the railway in a way that minimises the impact on customers.
Its vital the track at north Wembley is replaced to continue to safely meet the huge demand of passenger and freight rail services on the West Coast main line.
Trains serving Milton Keynes, St Albans, Northampton, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Leighton Buzzard, Bletchley, Wolverton and Berkhampsted are affected by the works.
Peter Broadley, executive director for customer, operations and safety at Virgin Trains said: With no services into or out of Euston we strongly advise our customers to avoid travelling to London on the days affected.

We know this will impact on peoples travel plans, particularly over a Bank Holiday weekend so we encourage customers to plan ahead and where possible travel at other times.
Anyone attending cultural or sporting events who cant avoid travelling will face dealing with busy trains on longer, diverted routes.
