Each lift will be worked on one at a time for a period of twelve days, and additional staff will be on hand at the affected lift passengers with heavy luggage.

A full schedule of maintenance can be found below with locations of lifts and what dates they will be unavailable.

A spokesperson for Network Rail said: "The much-needed work will improve reliability for passengers for years to come.
