Build a complete alternative
Check the bus, ferry or walking connection from the exact stop, not only the rail segment. Leave capacity and interchange margin, especially in the evening when the disruption crosses normal shift times.
Use the operator's current notice before travelling. If accessibility is required, confirm that the alternative route and stops meet the need.
