Trains in and out of York station may be cancelled or delayed by as much as an hour due to a trackside fire.

LNER, Cross Country and Grand Central trains are all affected by the fire next to the railway line between York and Doncaster.

LNER said it “means we are unable to pass in both directions”.

All lines are currently blocked. The problems are expected to continue till 6.15pm.

More details and updates from the National Rail inquiries website.

Customer advice

CrossCountry have issued this advice to customers:

  • You may use London North Eastern Railway, Northern and TransPennine Express services via any reasonable route.

    Where possible some services will divert not calling at Doncaster.

#LNERUpdate Fires remain alight on both sides of the track between #York and #Doncaster. This means we are unable to pass in both directions.
