Here’s the latest from LNER as severe problems hit our railways again.
They say: “We’re currently experiencing major disruption to our train services due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Kings Cross and Peterborough.
“All lines are blocked and are expected to remain so for the rest of day.
“We are advising not to travel today, Tuesday 26 July, between London Kings Cross and Peterborough due to the severity of today’s disruption.
“Please do not go to London Kings Cross station today.
“For stations north of Peterborough, we will operate a very limited service. However this will be subject to disruption and short notice cancellations.”
This comes a day before strike action is due to cripple the railways again.
“Customers with tickets dated Tuesday 26 July can use their tickets at no extra cost on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 July,” LNER says. “Please note that is not possible to use tickets tomorrow, Wednesday 27 July, as there is a reduced timetable operating due to industrial action.“

There will be no quick fix to get Wigginton Road moving again.
The road, which has been closed from York Hospital to Crichton Avenue, is not set to reopen until Sunday, it has just been revealed.
Two separate water main bursts have caused the closure, and engineers are now at the scene looking to put things right – but it’s a long job.
A Yorkshire Water spokesperson told YorkMix:
We have experienced two unrelated bursts on a large water main on Wigginton Road.
The bursts have caused significant damage to the road surface.
Our teams are working hard to complete the repairs quickly and reinstate the road to keep disruption to a minimum.
We are expecting the road to reopen on Sunday.
The closure of Wigginton Road this morning has created serious traffic problems across the city centre.
As at 10.15am there was congestion:
Most routes around the city centre are busy, and the Northern section of the outer ring road near Clifton Moor is very slow too.
