No trains are going to run in and out of Liverpool Lime Street station on Sunday and bank Hholiday Monday due to repair work, Network Rail has said.
It said: "Liverpool Lime Street will be closed to overground services on Sunday 3 May and the morning of Monday 4 May for journey-improving upgrades."
The transport company added: "Engineering teams will be replacing ageing signalling infrastructure in the Edge Hill area with modern equipment, as well as maintenance of overhead power lines and track points."
Passengers travelling into the city will have access to replacement bus services, and Merseyrail trains will be running as normal.
Paul Owen, Liverpool area director for Network Rail, said: "We would like to thank passengers for their patience while this vital work takes place. Replacing older signalling infrastructure with new equipment will reduce disruption on the railway and create smoother, more reliable journeys."
He urged people who were planning on travelling to or from Liverpool during the closure, to check with their train operators or on the National Rail Enquiries website for the latest information.
The station was closed for two months eight years ago for a full refurbishment.
