UK Trains rail disruptions & other info
Dec 19 to Dec 24
Burst water main impacts services to/from Hertford East
Period:Friday, December 19 to Wednesday, December 24
Operators:Greater Anglia
Related Information:A burst water main at Rye House has caused flooding of the railway line and damage to the station, closing all lines at this station.
As a result of this, trains are unable to run between Broxbourne and Hertford East, and will either be cancelled in full or revised to run between London Liverpool Street / Stratford (London) and Broxbourne only.
Please do not travel between Broxbourne and Hertford East until further notice.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day on Wednesday 24 December.
Customer advice:
Due to flooding caused by a burst water main at Rye House on the Hertford East branch line, train services are suspended between Broxbourne and Hertford East. Train services are not currently expected to be restored until Wednesday 24 December.
In the meantime, a limited replacement bus service will operate between Broxbourne and Hertford East, but you are advised not to travel unless absolutely necessary, and to look at alternative travel options wherever practical. Tickets may be used on Great Northern services to and from Hertford North. Depending on the journeys involved, customers may also wish to consider using other West Anglia main line stations or local bus services.
The extensive impact of the ongoing flooding, the complexity of the task and time needed to stem the flow, the work then needed to clean up the affected area, and the subsequent repairs required to both rail infrastructure (track and signalling) and Rye House station, all mean it is expected to take a number of days to complete the necessary work and reintroduce the normal service.
We will keep everyone updated on the progress of the repairs and the plans to restore a normal service.
Ticket acceptance:
To help with your journey your ticket can be used at no extra cost on Great Northern services between Moorgate and Hertford North, which is approximately a 20 minute distance from Hertford East.
Rail replacement transport:
Your journey may involve travelling on an accessible replacement bus. Very limited rail replacement buses will also be in service.
You can see rail replacement information.
Please note that e-scooters, electric and full size bicycles are not permitted on rail replacement vehicles.
Further information:
Advance purchase tickets holders will be allowed to travel on earlier or later trains if their booked service is cancelled.
Specific train service alterations and live departure boards are available to help plan your journey.
