Customers are being advised not to travel today (Saturday) as severe weather is continuing to cause major disruption to services across the LNER route.

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 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. The rail operator connects the strath with the Central Belt, North-East of England and London with a direct daily service.

The company said due to road closures, there are no buses running as rail replacements.

Other train operators are also subject to disruption.

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

The latest information and further details can be found at lner.co.uk[2] and on social channels.

Customers are advised to check for the latest updates before their planned journey.
