Description

A fault with the signalling system at Stoke-on-Trent means that trains have to run at a reduced speed on some lines. As a result, trains running to / from and through this station may be delayed by up to 30 minutes, revised or diverted.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Avanti West Coast customer advice:
