Train delays expected through Grantham as Storm Babet continues disruption

Train disruptions continue today (Saturday) as a result of the storm.

LNER has advised passengers not to travel today due to the severe weather disruption.

Trains through Newark may be disrupted.

A spokesperson for LNER said: “Due to ongoing flooding of the route between Doncaster and Wakefield, speed restrictions in Scotland and trains and crews being out of position following yesterday’s (October 20) extensive disruption, an extremely limited service is in operation and services may be subject to short-notice cancellation.

“There are no LNER services operating north of Edinburgh.

“Due to road closures, rail replacement is not available.

“Other train operators are also subject to disruption.

“Customers are being advised to defer travel. Tickets will be valid for travel between Monday, October 23 and Friday, October 27 2023 or fee free refunds will be possible from the original point of purchase.”
