London Midland passengers have been told to use the Overground or Underground on any reasonable route.
Commuters on Southern trains have been advised to use London Midland trains between Milton Keynes and Euston, and the Underground between Euston and Victoria.
Network Rail engineers have started work on replacing 2,200 tonnes of material on the damaged railway bank in Bedfordshire.
Area director Mark Killick said he recognised the disruption for passengers and would keep them updated on progress.
“We are aiming to complete this work by Friday and can’t be any more definitive at this point,” he said.
