Description
Disruption across LNER services is expected today due to a number of incidents, affecting the whole network.
Due to the severity of yesterdays disruption and the number of cancellations across the route, customers were advised not to travel on Friday 6 February.
Tickets for travel on Friday 6 February will be valid for use up to and including Monday 9 February.
Between Newark North Gate and Grantham:
Damage to the overhead electric wires between these stations means that trains are running at reduced speed on the line towards London. As a result trains may be delayed up to 45 minutes or cancelled.
Additional information:
Please note that engineering work is taking place between London Kings Cross and Peterborough this weekend. This will further affect your journey today. You can find information on this link.
