a temporary bus service replacing trains on a route due to maintenance or disruptions
A rail replacement bus service is a temporary bus service that replaces regular train services when the train line is closed or disrupted. This can happen due to maintenance, repairs, or emergencies. The buses follow a route that is similar to the train line, allowing passengers to continue their journey despite the train service being unavailable. Rail replacement bus services are often provided by transportation companies to ensure that commuters and travelers still have a way to reach their destinations without significant delays.
