Rail Replacement Services by buses and coaches are when the rail line becomes unavailable for a significant period due to engineering works and there isn't a suitable diversionary route. These can be either programmed or unplanned after such episodes as bad weather events or incidents like a road vehicle crashing onto the railway.

It was proving quite popular during the afternoons, early mornings were much quieter.
