Overview
- Network Rail said a defective cable led to a signalling failure at around 10:50am, with power restored by 1:20pm.
- Lines have reopened, but operators report continuing cancellations and delays as services recover, with some guidance extending disruption into the early evening.
- LNER and other operators told passengers to defer travel, allowing tickets to be used on Monday or, for some LNER journeys, on Tuesday at no extra cost.
- All Northern services through Leeds were affected alongside CrossCountry, LNER and TransPennine Express, including routes such as Manchester Victoria–York via Leeds and services to Scarborough.
- A separate incident in which a person was hit by a train between Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed also disrupted the East Coast Main Line, with LNER noting residual delays despite lines reopening.
