Rail: Points failure stops trains on East Midlands Parkway – Beeston – Long Eaton line disrupting several services

There is a points failure at Sheet Stores Junction between Beeston/ East Midlands Parkway and Long Eaton and is disrupting trains on the Intercity, Matlock/ Derby/ Nottingham and Newark Castle- Crewe routes.
Network Rail are sending a team to site to investigate the issue. They are expected to be on site at 14:50.

East Midlands Railway said at 2:35 pm Tuesday 30 April:

‘Trains running through the area in the Derby direction from Leicester and Nottingham cannot run. Trains will be delayed or cancelled in the Derby/ North direction.

‘Trains running through the area in the Nottingham/ South direction can run but may be delayed due to congestion in the area.

‘At present we are expecting the problem to be fixed in the next 3 hours. As soon as the problem is fixed our priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again. We do not have an estimate as to when we will be able to run trains to our advertised timetable.’
