Rail disruption: List of Scotland-London services cancelled on Tuesday due to cracks in trains

As disruption to rail services due to cracks in trains continues, London North Eastern Railway (LNER), one of the affected operators, has confirmed a number of its trains have been cancelled or altered on Tuesday.

It comes as Hitachi Class 800 trains were withdrawn from service on Saturday for safety checks after cracks were discovered in part of the chassis of several trains.

LNER is running a reduced service on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh via Peterborough, York and Newcastle.

A spokesman for the operator said: “LNER is working with Hitachi and other the rail industry partners to return as many trains back into service as safely and as quickly as possible.

“As investigations are continuing and the schedule for repairs is being developed, further information on timings will be released in due course.”

A post on LNER’s Twitter page reads: “Due to ongoing disruption, there are a number of cancelled/altered services across our route today.”
