Train services running through these stations may be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 20:30.

Customer Advice

Great Northern services are being disrupted on the route between Watton-at-Stone and Stevenage.

The 19.02 Stevenage to Moorgate service has stopped shortly after departure from Stevenage station, as there is a fault on the train.

Because of the position of the faulty train, both lines are blocked in the area, and trains cannot move in either direction.

The 18.10 Moorgate to Stevenage service is being delayed northbound, on approach to the location of the faulty train.

Other trains may be terminated before they get to the area (for example, trains from Moorgate may terminate at Hertford North or Watton-at-Stone).

Great Northern are working to fully assess the issue. If you need to use alternative transport or another route, we will let you know.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Great Northern are working with the train crew, Fleet teams and Network Rail, in order to get the railway open as soon as possible.
