Commuters have been warned to expect disruption after heavy rainfall caused a landslip near a railway.

Network Rail warned passengers travelling between Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and London, to expect disruption until Tuesday.

Buses were due to replace trains between Amersham and Aylesbury Vale Parkway stations.

The closure will allow engineers to carry out repairs on the tracks near Stoke Mandeville.

Engineers said they discovered about 5,000 tonnes of material had slipped along the embankment that supported the rails, while investigating a track defect north of Stoke Mandeville station.

The lines between Aylesbury and Amersham are closed until the end of Monday 4th March 2024. This is to enable Network Rail to carry out urgent repairs to the track in the Stoke Mandeville area.

Rail replacement buses are currently in place for customers who are traveling between Aylesbury Vale Parkway, Aylesbury, Stoke Mandeville, Wendover and Great Missenden, through to Amersham where a connecting London Underground services can be taken to Baker Street.

Customers traveling from Aylesbury all the way to London should take the trains diverting via the alternative route, changing at Princes Risborough if needed.
