Can you tell me more about the incident?

An operational incident is delaying the journey of a train in this area. This refers to a problem which will need to investigate before the train and its crew can continue.

Teams may need to do this alongside other partners, such as Network Rail, in order to gather all the details we need. This will let Great Northern determine that the train can move safely and the railway can reopen for normal use.

The railway operates on a number of "failsafe" systems. This means that if a possible fault or a procedural issue is detected, trains will be stopped, or there will be restrictions on how they can move. In many cases, no issue will have occurred, but services will stop as a precaution. In all cases, however, a thorough investigation will take place before we decide that the train can move.
