Can you tell me more about the incident?

The engineering works in the Huntingdon area have now been completed, and all lines have reopened.

Because the overnight works overran by around an hour, Great Northern / Thameslink morning train services are starting a little later than scheduled. While services are still able to serve all routes and stations, you may experience some initial delays while staff work to get the trains back into position and restore the normal timetable.

Please allow a little extra time for your journey this morning, and check a live journey planner or station departure boards for the latest updates.

Check before you travel:

You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
