East Midlands Railway

Trains running through the area from Peterborough towards Doncaster in both directions will start and terminate at Lincoln. Services will be unable to call at Saxilby, Gainsborough Lea Road and Doncaster until further notice.

At present we are expecting the line to reopen in the next three hours. As soon as the line is open again, the priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again. We expect the advertised timetable to resume on the affected routes by approximately 14:50.
