Description

The theft of signalling cables between Newark Northgate / Lincoln and Grantham means that fewer trains than normal are able to run on all lines. As a result, trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 20 minutes, cancelled or diverted.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
