LNER Engineering work - No replacement buses

With the Engineering work between Newcastle and Edinburgh, the bi-mode trains are getting pulled to do the diversion.

The London - Lincoln service is virtually all gone (a few London - Harrogate runs missing as well). What surprised me is there is no replacement transport. This means that Grantham - Newark Northgate has nearly no service. Lincoln can use the EMR service to Peterborough. I am having to do the Newark Northgate - Castle walk. Have I missed the replacement bus service getting published somewhere as it seems odd that these services are withdrawn with no replacement. Newark - Grantham could even be done with additional stops on trains that are left running.

But that would mean LNER caring about local passengers south of Doncaster who only get in the way of long distance passengers ;)

See also the lack of trains calling at both Newark & Retford in a normal timetable.
