Route(s) affected

between Warrington Bank Quay / Runcorn and Crewe

Description

A fault with the signalling system at Winsford means that trains have to run at reduced speed on the lines towards Crewe. As a result of this, trains running between Warrington Bank Quay / Runcorn and Crewe may be delayed by up to 60 minutes, cancelled in full or revised to only complete part of their journey.

Disruption is expected until 14:15.

Avanti West Coast customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, your ticket is valid on one of the two Avanti West Coast services immediately before your booked train, or one of the two immediately after.

If you no longer wish to travel because your train's delayed or cancelled, you can request a full refund from where you bought your ticket.

Ticket flexibility:

If your train is cancelled, you will be able to travel on an alternative service operated by any other participating train company, either two hours before or two hours after the original departure time of the cancelled service, in order to reach your destination.

If you decide not to travel or cannot complete your journey due to cancellations, you are entitled to a full refund from your original point of sale.

For further information and guidance please contact your train company or speak to a member of railway staff.
