Track flooding and bridge damage disrupts routes between Liskeard and Looe
Period:Tuesday, January 27 to Sunday, February 1
Operators:Great Western Railway
Related Information:The line between Liskeard and Looe remains closed following a period of recent heavy rain which flooded the track.
The heavy rainfall, combined with high tides, resulted in the water levels at several bridges along the line being above the level which allows for trains to run safely. Investigations took place once the water levels receded and the results of the investigations have confirmed some damage that will require repair work. This will need to be carried out before the line can be reopened and trains are able to run again.
No trains will operate between Liskeard and Looe. Rail replacement transport will run as stated below.
Currently, trains are not expected to run on this route until the start of service on Monday 2 February, at the earliest.

Can you tell me more about the incident?
Multiple incidents between St Albans and West Hampstead Thameslink mean that trains on this route will be significantly delayed, revised, or cancelled.
Currently, a points failure is affecting southbound routes through the Cricklewood area. Points are movable sections of track that guide trains onto different routes at junctions. If they develop a fault due to obstructions, electronic failures or other issues, trains cannot safely pass.
A track defect has also been reported on one of the lines through West Hampstead Thameslink, meaning that trains will run at reduced speeds over the affected section of track, causing delays to trains running north.
Network Rail is sending teams to investigate. To work safely, they may need to stop trains, which could delay services.
Once on-site, they'll diagnose the fault and look for a quick fix. Some repairs may take longer if replacement parts or expert advice are needed.
