I have just noticed that the Hope Valley line is out of use today and TPE services are diverted via Huddersfield and Wakefield, and EMR services from Norwich terminate early at Nottingham.

Is this engineering works or is this new timetable for weeekends?

Is this repairs following the freight derailing?
That was in a part of Sheffield station not used by the local services.

I took my 'exercise walk' near part of the line in the Hope Valley today and noted on-track plant transiting. Also saw a Rail Replacement Bus with no passengers (not surprising).

Thank you for your response

Was their any snow in the Hope Valley?

There is 'old snow' lying in some places, generally above the Valley bottom, but no fresh stuff today. Still freezing though.

A friend of mine is working one the ballast trains. He says they are relaying the lines inside of Totley Tunnel.
