Broken rail causes travel disruption for Doncaster rail passengers

Disruption between York and Doncaster is expected until 1pm while repairs are carried out on a broken rail.

It means trains have to run at a reduced speed on the southbound East Coast Main Line towards Doncaster.

As a result of this, trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 40 minutes.

Passengers are being advised to check on services before travelling and are reminded that face coverings are compulsory on all public transport.

A spokesman for LNER said: “You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.”
