Red weather warning - East Coast Main Line to close - Network Rail

Due to the red weather warning we must close the East Coast Main Line on Tuesday afternoon for all locations between London King’s Cross and York and Leeds.
We are warning you to not travel on Tuesday 19 July.
The closure will be in place from 12:00 until 20:00 with a skeleton service running in the morning. It comes amid forecasts of record temperatures and the declaration of a national emergency early next week.
A combination of extremely high local forecast temperatures and temperatures well in excess of those for which the infrastructure is designed for on the East Coast Main Line has led to this decision.
This means many train companies will not run any services and others will be very limited. We’re asking you to re-plan your journey for another day where possible or get a refund.
