- Southbound trains to London King's Cross on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

We are also expecting services between Doncaster and London King's Cross to be busier than usual. Please see particularly busy travel times below:
- Southbound trains from Doncaster to London King's Cross on Saturday morning.

If you’re traveling with an open ticket this weekend and don’t have a seat reservation, do not travel on our North East route or between Doncaster and London. Demand is extremely high, and those without a reservation may not be able to board. Check for the latest updates before you travel and allow extra time to reach the station.
