A shortage of Great Northern and Thameslink train crew means that fewer trains are able to run between London Kings Cross and Peterborough / Cambridge / Hertford North.

Trains between London Kings Cross and Peterborough / Cambridge / Hertford North may be cancelled.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
