Description

A problem with the station lighting at Baldock means some trains will be unable to call at the station.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

Southbound trains towards London Kings Cross or Brighton are unable to stop at Baldock at present.

This is due to a station lighting fault.

Trains towards Cambridge will stop as usual.

If you are waiting at Baldock for a train heading southbound, please first use a northbound train towards Cambridge, leave the train at Ashwell & Morden or Royston, and then change for a southbound service.

If you are travelling on a southbound train and need to alight at Baldock, please leave the train at Letchworth Garden City, and change for a northbound train.

This will take at least 20-30 minutes longer than usual, so please leave extra time.
