East Midlands Railway said at 7 am Monday 19 February:
‘There has been theft of signalling cables near Worksop. This is between Mansfield Woodhouse and Worksop and is disrupting our trains on the Nottingham / Mansfield / Worksop route.
‘Network Rail are aware of the theft and the British Transport Police have been at the location throughout the night.
‘A team of engineers will look be on site to replace the cabling this morning.
