A trespass incident at Hatfield means all lines are blocked. As a result, trains running between London and Stevenage may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes, or revised.

We expect this to continue until 21:00.

Customer Advice:

Great Northern / Thameslink:

No trains can run between Potters Bar and Welwyn Garden City, due to a trespasser on the railway in the Hatfield area.

If you are travelling between these stations, your journey may take up to 20 minutes longer than usual.

Before travelling, please check journey planners and station information boards, and allow extra time to reach your destination.

Check the live map here to see if your journey has been affected.

 Can you tell me more about the incident?

We'd like to remind all that trespassing is highly dangerous and illegal. Please remember to stay safe whilst travelling on our trains.
