A fault with the signalling system at Dore is causing disruption to journeys running between Sheffield and Stockport.

As all lines are currently blocked, trains between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes, revised or diverted.

Disruption is expected until 13:00.

Customer Advice:

East Midlands Railway

How does this affect my train?

London / Sheffield (Intercity) Services

Trains running between Sheffield and Chesterfield in both directions are running with delays of up to 15 minutes.

Liverpool / Nottingham Norwich Services

Trains running between Sheffield and Stockport in both directions cannot run.

Some trains will be able to take a diversionary route, not calling at Sheffield.

At present, we are expecting the problem to be fixed in the next 2 hours. As soon as the problem is fixed, the priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again. We expect an advertised timetable to resume on the affected routes by 13:00.
