How does this affect my train?
Trains across all affected routes are experiencing delays and cancellations. We are working closely with Network Rail and continually reviewing our train service.
At present we are expecting to run a reduced timetable across the affected routes for the remainder of the day. As we will be operating a reduced timetable, we will have limited capacity on the trains that we are able to run. Services may be busier than usual, we strongly advise you to check your full journey before attempting to travel: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
Trains between Sheffield and London St Pancras are running between Sheffield and Derby only. Trains between Derby and London St Pancras are not able to run.
