Service updates

A speed restriction over a defective track between Ely and Kings Lynn is causing disruption between these stations. Trains have to run at a reduced speed and may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised. This is expected until 13:00.

Customer Advice

You can continue to use your normal route, however, services will be delayed by around 10-15 minutes and may be subject to late notice alterations.

You should check before travelling and leave extra time to reach your destination.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

A section of track needs to be inspected by Network Rail engineers and a speed restriction has been put in place for safety reasons. This will cause delays to trains running through the area. Engineers are making their way to site to carry out the necessary checks.

Train times will change from Sunday 12 December as we introduce our Winter timetable. The timetable introduction will be phased, with the last phase introduced after the holiday period on Tuesday 4 January 2022. Until 4 January there will be temporary service reductions and changes on some routes, alongside some improvements where these are possible.

The phased introduction of the timetable will support significant engineering works over the Christmas and New Year period and help to ensure planned services are as reliable as possible with the ongoing impact of coronavirus. It will also reflect changes to services during bank holidays and the Christmas week.

We recommend you continue to use live travel updates and sign-up for alerts.

The last phase will be introduced as schools and businesses start to return and from 4 January, more Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services will run on weekdays, and Gatwick Express services will return seven days per week.

Planning your journey

Please use the journey planner at nationalrail.co.uk, which is expected to be updated to show the services we plan to run as follows:

• For journeys on dates between Sunday 12 December and Saturday 18 December; journey planners will be updated from Monday 6 December
• For journeys on dates between Sunday 19 December and Thursday 23 December; journey planners will be updated from Monday 13 December
• For journeys on Friday 24 December, the early shutdown to services is already updated in journey planners. The temporary service reductions during the day, however, will be updated on 13 December
• For journeys on dates after Sunday 26 December; journey planners have already been updated

Please re-check your journey again before travelling for any late notice changes, as is may be necessary to make additional changes on the day of operation.
