A vehicle striking a bridge at Longton means that all lines are blocked between Stoke-on-Trent and Derby. Trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until 11:00.
How does this affect my train?
Trains running through the area in both direction cannot run between Stoke-on-Trent and Uttoxeter.
Some services may be subject to short notice alterations.
At present we are expecting the problem to be fixed in the next hour. As soon as the problem is fixed the priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again.
How do I get where I need to be?
You should continue to travel as originally planned however your journey may be delayed by 30 minutes.
