Network Rail is thanking passengers for their patience and understanding during the recent storms as the railway today, (Tuesday 22 February), resumes regular train services.

Network Rail has awarded a major design and delivery contract to Alstom as part of a £194 million investment for the renewal of the signalling systems in the Cambridge area.

There are currently no trains between London and Norwich because of a tree falling on the overhead wires near between Shenfield and Chelmsford. 

Heavy rain brought by Storm Franklin has led to severe flooding across parts of South and West Yorkshire, with passengers strongly advised to check their journey before they travel - and on some routes not to travel at all.

The third major storm in just five days brings more extreme winds, around 70 flood warnings and alerts now in place across Wales and borders. 

Rail passengers are being warned that the third major storm in just five days is set to bring further travel disruption across the North West.

Rotherham Central will be closed from the start of service on Sunday 20 February as heavy rain is expected to cause severe flooding.

Rail passengers are being advised to check before they travel this weekend as engineers rapidly repair railway lines after one of the worst storms in 30 years.
