East Midlands Railway, like other rail operators and other industries, are experiencing high levels of Covid-related absence among its workforce which can impact their ability to provide a reliable timetable. In addition, Government advice to work from home means passenger demand is also very low.

Short notice cancellations are incredibly frustrating, and are something East Midlands Railway are determined to avoid as much as possible. To help, approximately 4% of services are being removed. This means they can protect those which are important for customers who are still travelling and provide a more reliable service.

These changes will remain under constant review and changes will be made as needed.

You can find details of specific trains and routes on the East Midlands Railway website.

A reduced service will operate from Monday to Friday on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern routes until further notice. The Gatwick Express service has been suspended. This is due to the significant ongoing impact of Coronavirus, particularly in terms of staff sickness which businesses and transport operators across the country continue to see.

By reducing the service, the aim is to provide more certainty over which trains will run for those that are travelling, and reduce unexpected cancellations.

The times of trains on all routes will be changed and, on many routes, services will be reduced.

The latest travel advice and timetables can be found via the following train company links:

Southern

Thameslink

Great Northern

Like many businesses across the UK, TransPennine Express continues to feel the impact of Covid-19. The increasing effect of the Omicron variant, coupled with seasonal sickness, has resulted in a shortage of available train crew. In response, on Monday 10 January, TransPennine Express introduced an amended timetable designed to provide a stable and reliable service for customers.

Although the new timetable will provide improved reliability and stability, TransPennine Express may still face ‘on-the-day’ challenges to its services as a result of short-notice sickness and some industrial relations issues. As such, it may be necessary to make a relatively small number of further short-notice cancellations or service amendments on a day-to-day basis.

A summary of the amended weekday timetable that will operate can be found on the TransPennine Express website. These timetables will be in place until further notice and will be reviewed on a weekly basis.

There are no planned alterations to the timetable on weekends. However, journeys may be affected by engineering work.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Alternative travel advice:
