Well, it looks like a heap of problems on the East Coast today.
Item tangled in the wires Morpeth-Newcastle, broken train Newark-Grantham, and some fairly desperate measures to restore some service in the remaining bits!
I believe some other issues earlier as well. I'm sure someone on here will know what's really happened and tell us more!
Pretty much everything (except the 1730 Edinburgh and 1648 Sunderland) is cancelled until at least the 1830 Edinburgh (now expected at 1911).
Plus the LNER Website is tellling big porkie pies on at least some KGX live arrivals - snap taken 1630:
For sure the 1431, 1440, 1551 are not on time. Thankfully the National Rail site has real data:
As I've suspected for a long time now, TOC-provided running data is not to be trusted, even on station displays sometimes. At least without corroboratoin from primary sources like NR or OpenTrainTimes, etc.
Psrt of the desperate measures include cancellling the mid-afternoon Lincoln - KGX & restarting it from Grantham (presumably by using another service unable to proceed north).
Glad i'm not travelling today, certainly feel for those caught up in it - and who will be this evening.
