If you thought your second commute of September would be better than the first, think again, because Kings Cross has delays again.

Damage to overhead lines near Grantham, just east of Nottingham, is stopping trains from travelling between there and Newark North Gate.

Numerous trains are cancelled or delayed, with no services between those stations until at least 8am.

One Kings Cross-bound LNER service running more than an hour late.

The disruption, expected to continue until midday, is having knock-on effects for the rest of the line.

LNER, Grand Central, Hull Trains and Lumo services are affected, according to National Rail.

Its website says: ‘You can use your tickets on Northern services between Leeds and York, and between Doncaster and Sheffield.

‘You can also use your tickets on East Midlands Railway services between Sheffield and London St Pancras International.’

Overhead line damage brings slow start to Tuesday trains at Kings Cross

Cancellations and hour-long delays aren’t an ideal start to a Tuesday morning.

But they’re expected to continue until midday, with no trains between Grantham and Newark North Gate, near Nottingham, until 8am.

This is affecting the rest of the line, all the way to Kings Cross station in London.

LNER, Grand Central, Hull Trains and Lumo have seen their services disrupted as a result.
