UK Trains rail disruptions & other info
Jul 18 to Dec 31
East Midlands Railway Intercity routes operating a temporary reduced timetable with possible cancellations due to ASOS
Period:Saturday, July 18 to Thursday, December 31
Operators:East Midlands Railway
Related Information:East Midlands Railway have introduced a temporary reduced Intercity timetable to help provide a more consistent and reliable service whilst they address issues with the performance and reliability of their trains.
This is expected to be in place until further notice.
**Planned industrial action:**
The RMT Union has notified East Midlands Railway that members will be taking action short of strike (ASOS) until further notice. Trains may be subject to short notice alterations and cancellations. Please check before you travel.
The RMT union has also announced industrial action which is expected to impact the level of service on East Midlands Railway's Intercity and Connect routes on Wednesday 16 September and Thursday 17 September.
**Check before you travel:**
Online Journey Planners and ticket booking systems have been updated to reflect the timetable changes as follows:
Monday to Friday: Cancelled services have been removed from journey planners up until 16 October.
Weekends: Cancelled services will be removed from journey planners up to three weeks before travel.
**From Tuesday 1 September:**
East Midlands Railway will increase Intercity service from 87% to 92% of the full planned timetable. Please continue to check before you travel for any additional disruption on the East Midlands Railway network.
Key service reinstatements include:
Sheffield services: Reinstatement of five weekday services and three weekend services that were previously fully cancelled.
Nottingham services: Reinstatement of three weekday services and one weekend service that were previously fully cancelled.
**Ticket flexibility:**
If your booked service is affected, you can travel on up to two earlier or two later East Midlands Railway services, or, if you decide not to travel, you can claim a full refund from where you purchased the ticket.
In addition, if you are travelling between Sheffield and London St Pancras International with any flexible ticket (such as an anytime, off-peak or super off-peak ticket) you can travel via Doncaster with your existing ticket, at no extra cost, using Northern / TransPennine Express services between Sheffield and Doncaster, and then LNER services between Doncaster and London Kings Cross. This applies even if your booked train is unaffected.
If you have an advance ticket booked for an East Midlands Railway train which is still running, your ticket will not be valid on other operators.
**Can you tell me more?**
The introduction of the new Class 810 fleet to the East Midlands Railway network was designed to provide a smooth transition from the Class 222 fleet, with a significant period where both fleets would operate alongside one another under the maintenance of Hitachi Rail.
However, a three-year delay in the first Class 810 trains coming into service, combined with ongoing service reliability issues across both fleets, have significantly impacted East Midlands Railway's ability to run a reliable Intercity service.
Introducing a temporary timetable will allow them to provide a more dependable service whilst they continue to work with Hitachi Rail to make the improvements needed as quickly as possible.
**Compensation:**
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
Aug 18 to Oct 2
Multiple speed restrictions causing amended timetable with train cancellations across the c2c network
Period:Tuesday, August 18 to Friday, October 2
Operators:c2c
Related Information:Multiple speed restrictions have been imposed across the c2c network. As trains are having to run at a reduced speed, c2c have introduced an amended timetable. This has been done to offer more certainty about services, and to reduce the risk of any short-notice disruption.
This is expected to continue until further notice.
Travel advice:
The amended timetable involves some services being cancelled and retimed in advance. However, there are also a small number of short notice additional cancellations. The advance amended timetable is reflected in Journey Planners up to and including Friday 2 October. However, the short notice additional cancellations may not be removed from Journey Planners until 24 hours in advance - please check your entire journey on the day of travel. The frequency of service means that if your planned train is cancelled, the next one will be arriving shortly.
As part of the amended timetable, services towards London from Shoeburyness, Upminster, Pitsea and Grays will depart at least six minutes earlier than normal. Services from London arriving at stations between Upminster and Shoeburyness and between Grays and Pitsea will arrive at least six minutes later than normal.
To assist you with your journey, your ticket can be used at no extra cost on Greater Anglia services between London Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria in both directions.
Additional information:
The prolonged dry weather has caused the clay underneath the tracks to dry out and shrink. This has caused the track to drop in places and become uneven. In response, speed restrictions have been put in place to keep everyone moving safely and smoothly.
Speed restrictions will need to be in place until the ground conditions have recovered, which can take some time. The normal timetables will be reintroduced as soon as possible. Further updates will be provided in due course.
Check before you travel:
You can check your journey up to and including Friday 2 October using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner. However, you are advised to check your entire journey again on the day you are travelling in case of any further short notice amendments to the timetable.
It is not yet known what service will look for c2c on Saturday 3 October, so please check back later.
Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
Aug 28 to Sep 15
Temporary amendments to some services between Horsham and Barnham
Period:Friday, August 28 to Tuesday, September 15
Operators:Southern
Related Information:A speed restriction is in place between Horsham and Barnham. As a result, fewer trains are able to run on all lines between Horsham and Barnham / Bognor Regis / Portsmouth Harbour. Trains running between these stations will be revised.
This is expected to continue until at least Tuesday 15 September.
We're sorry that some customers travelling on the Arun Valley route will continue to experience disruption.
The recent record-breaking hot weather and sustained low rainfall has affected track conditions in some areas, meaning temporary speed restrictions need to remain in place. Safety is and will always remain the highest priority.
Because of the speed restrictions, trains need longer to complete their journeys, and running the normal timetable could lead to delays building up throughout the day and increase the risk of short-notice cancellations. To provide customers with greater certainty, and to keep services running as reliably as possible, Southern have temporarily revised the timetable.
We know many customers rely on their services every day for work, school, appointments and important time with family and friends, and they are sorry for the disruption these changes may cause. The revised timetable has also been designed to minimise the impact on customers wherever possible.
Customer advice:Services between London Victoria and Bognor Regis will run half hourly in each direction as normal.
Services that normally run between London Victoria and Portsmouth Harbour will run between Barnham and Portsmouth Harbour only. These services will depart:
• Barnham at XX:30 each hour
• Portsmouth Harbour at XX:29 each hour
Services between Bognor Regis and Barnham have been reduced to half hourly services which will depart:
• Bognor Regis at: XX:26 and XX:56 each hour
• Barnham at: XX:14 and XX:45 each hour
There will be no additional peak service running from Bognor Regis to London Bridge in either direction.
There will be no trains running on this route on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 September. Buses will be in operation throughout the day to help you reach your destination.
If you are travelling between London and Portsmouth Harbour, you will need to change at Barnham for an alternate service.
You can also use your ticket at no extra cost on South Western Railway services between Havant and Portsmouth Harbour.
Check before you travel:You can check your journey for today using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner.
Compensation:You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.

Sep 11 to Sep 15

Period:Friday, September 11 to Tuesday, September 15
Operators:Northern
Related Information:A speed restriction over a defective train between Scarborough and Hull means that trains have to run at reduced speed on the line.
As a result, trains running between these stations may be cancelled in full, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised to run only part of their scheduled journey.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day Tuesday 15 September.
**How does this affect my journey?**

Sep 14 to Oct 12
Temporary changes to weekday off-peak services between Ore / Eastbourne and London Victoria
Period:Monday, September 14 to Monday, October 12
Operators:Southern
Related Information:There will be a speed restriction in place between Ore / Eastbourne and London from Monday 14 September. There will be some temporary timetable changes, which will remain in place for approximately four weeks.
Customer advice:To avoid further delays, cancellations or last-minute alterations and to provide customers with greater certainty about the services that will run, there will be some temporary timetable changes from Monday 14 September, which will remain in place for approximately four weeks.
The changes will affect Monday to Friday services and are targeted at off-peak times where possible, with weekend services operating to the normal timetable.
Journey planners have been updated with these changes. Customers are advised to check before travelling.
Southern know many customers rely on these services every day for work, education, appointments and important time with family and friends, and are very sorry for the disruption these changes may cause.
The usual half-hourly service between Ore, Eastbourne and London Victoria will operate in the morning peak, until around 09:00.
Please check your journey before you travel, as services will differ from the normal timetable.
After 09:00: There will be no direct service between London and Eastbourne / Ore. Instead, services will operate:
• Between Haywards Heath and Eastbourne
• Between Eastbourne and Ore
You will need to change trains at either Haywards Heath or Eastbourne to complete your journey. Please plan ahead and allow additional time.
If you are travelling between London Bridge and St Leonard's Warrior Square or Hastings, you should use Southeastern services via London Bridge instead, as this will be the quickest option for you, at no additional cost.
You can also use your ticket on alternative Southern services between London Victoria and Haywards Heath.
After 16:00: The usual two trains per hour service between London Victoria, Eastbourne and Ore will resume from the 16:24 departure from London Victoria.

You can view a live map of the network. You can also use the Southern app will also help you plan your journey.
Why are temporary timetable changes needed? The record-breaking hot and dry weather over the summer has affected track conditions in some areas, meaning temporary speed restrictions need to remain in place in some areas. Safety is and will always remain the highest priority.
Because of the speed restrictions, trains need longer to complete their journeys, and operating the normal timetable could lead to delays building throughout the day and increase the risk of short-notice cancellations and alterations.
To provide customers with a more reliable service and greater certainty when planning their journeys, a temporary revised timetable will be in place during the middle of the day, minimising the impact on services during the busier peak periods.
Network Rail has a programme under way to protect the railway from extreme weather and climate change, supported by a £2.6 billion investment in track maintenance and renewals.
Engineers are working hard to lift the speed restrictions on this route as quickly as possible so the full regular service can resume.
Check before you travel:You can check your journey using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner.
Compensation:You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
