Signalling problems at Newcastle means trains are currently being delayed by up to 80 minutes. There is no firm estimate yet of how long disruption will last but it is likely to continue until at least 09:30.

Seems to be causing some disruption this one. Trains are stacked up on the bridge over the Tyne Bridge as I crossed it earlier.

Due to a loss of power to the signalling panel, there have been only one arrival and one departure in/out of Newcastle in the last hour. The southbound Flying Scotsman has been held outside the station for an hour and will terminate there.

0710 Leeds-Aberdeen has gone for a trip up the Durham coast line today, nice change of view for the punters

A driver was called to the Newcastle thunderbird to haul the 6:57 southbound via the coast, but in the event was stood down, and that service left via ECML two and a half hours late.
