There is a fault with the signalling system at Hubberts Bridge This is between Boston and Sleaford and is disrupting our trains on the Nottingham/Grantham/Skegness route.
At present Network Rail are on site trying to fix the problem.
Issues have been encountered with the repairs and the line is not expected to re-open this evening.
East Midlands Railways said:
‘Trains are currently unable to run between Sleaford and Boston.
‘A train service will operate between Nottingham and Sleaford in both directions.
At present we are expecting the problem to be fixed overnight.
‘We hope to run a normal timetable in the morning, but some early alterations may occur due to trains being in the wrong location overnight.
‘There have been supply issues with bus/coaches in the area.
‘We have been unable to supply the number of buses needed to run a full bus replacement service.
‘Taxis are being arranged to run between Sleaford and Skegness in both directions. Staff are on site at Skegness and Sleaford to co-ordinate this.
