Overview
- A fallen tree near Beattock in the early hours of June 30 completely blocked the West Coast Main Line between Carlisle and Glasgow/Edinburgh.
- TransPennine Express issued a rare 'do not travel' warning for services to and from Scotland and is turning all north-west England trains around at Carlisle.
- Repair crews and additional staff are working through the day to remove the obstruction, but through travel between Carlisle and Scotland cannot be guaranteed.
- Customers holding tickets for June 30 can use the same tickets on July 1 services or apply for refunds from their point of purchase.
- Passengers still travelling today can reroute via the East Coast Main Line or on LNER, CrossCountry, ScotRail, Northern and Lumo services under flexible ticket arrangements.
