It’s the same every time we have a bit of extreme weather – cancellations ahoy.
National Express Anglia lead the pack with the hot weather causing trouble on the orders of Network Rail, with the heat affecting the overhead power lines.
London to Ipswich, Braintree, Southend are all hit in different ways.
National Express East Anglia says:
“Due to high temperature on Monday 27 June, speed restrictions have been imposed due to the design of the overhead line equipment.
“This equipment is subject to major renewal which will prevent the need for speed restrictions in the long term.
“We intend to operate a full AM and PM peak service.”
Speeds on the Great Eastern Mainline, connecting Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelmsford, Southend, Shenfield and London are being reduced from up to 90 down to 80 – or in some cases 60.
It could be a long day if you’re travelling. Stock up on water and watch for delays at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/today.html
