Rail passengers face longer journeys this Bank Holiday Weekend


The Managing Director of LNER has apologised to passengers caught up in today’s (Friday) incidents on the East Coast Main Line between North Yorkshire and London.

David Horne warned that there may be issues tomorrow (Saturday) as a result of the disruption caused by power lines coming down at New Barnet, between London and Stevenage. (See main picture)

Tonight services are delayed by up to 60 minutes or cancelled.

The Bank Holiday weekend will also see the main line closed between York and Northallerton with buses running instead.

The network will be busy as many people will have decided to delay travel plans because of the disruption tonight (Friday).

Mr Horne said: “We are prioritising capacity and running as many trains as possible, even if this means some services are running late. Sorry again.”
