Jul 18 to Dec 31
A temporary reduced Intercity timetable due to train reliability issues is affecting East Midlands Railway services between Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby and London St Pancras International
Period:Saturday, July 18 to Thursday, December 31
Operators:East Midlands Railway
Related Information:East Midlands Railway have introduced a temporary reduced Intercity timetable to help provide a more consistent and reliable service whilst they address issues with the performance and reliability of their trains.
This is expected to be in place until further notice.
Check before you travel:Online Journey Planners and ticket booking systems have been updated to reflect the timetable changes as follows:
Monday to Friday: Cancelled services have been removed from journey planners up until Friday 16 October.
Weekends: Cancelled services will be removed from journey planners up to three weeks before travel.
From Tuesday 1 September:East Midlands Railway will increase Intercity service from 87% to 92% of the full planned timetable. Please continue to check before you travel for any additional disruption on the East Midlands Railway network.
The temporary timetable is available to view in a PDF format.
Key service reinstatements include:
Sheffield services:
Reinstatement of five weekday services and three weekend services that were previously fully cancelled.
Nottingham services:
Reinstatement of three weekday services and one weekend service that were previously fully cancelled.
Ticket flexibility:If your booked service is affected, you can travel on up to two earlier or two later East Midlands Railway services, or, if you decide not to travel, you can claim a full refund from where you purchased the ticket.
In addition, if you are travelling between Sheffield and London St Pancras International with any flexible ticket (such as an anytime, off-peak or super off-peak ticket) you can travel via Doncaster with your existing ticket, at no extra cost, using Northern / TransPennine Express services between Sheffield and Doncaster, and then LNER services between Doncaster and London Kings Cross. This applies even if your booked train is unaffected.
If you have an advance ticket booked for an East Midlands Railway train which is still running, your ticket will not be valid on other operators.
Can you tell me more?The introduction of the new Class 810 fleet to the East Midlands Railway network was designed to provide a smooth transition from the Class 222 fleet, with a significant period where both fleets would operate alongside one another under the maintenance of Hitachi Rail.
However, a three-year delay in the first Class 810 trains coming into service, combined with ongoing service reliability issues across both fleets, have significantly impacted East Midlands Railway’s ability to run a reliable Intercity service.
Introducing a temporary timetable will allow them to provide a more dependable service whilst they continue to work with Hitachi Rail to make the improvements needed as quickly as possible.
FAQs:You can find more details and a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions on East Midlands Railway's website.
Compensation:You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.

Related Information:There is a speed restriction in place between Ore / Eastbourne and London Victoria. There will be some temporary timetable changes, which will remain in place for approximately four weeks.

Why are temporary timetable changes needed?
The record-breaking hot and dry weather over the summer has affected track conditions in some areas, meaning temporary speed restrictions need to remain in place in some areas. Safety is and will always remain the highest priority.
Because of the speed restrictions, trains need longer to complete their journeys, and operating the normal timetable could lead to delays building throughout the day and increase the risk of short-notice cancellations and alterations.
To provide customers with a more reliable service and greater certainty when planning their journeys, a temporary revised timetable will be in place during the middle of the day, minimising the impact on services during the busier peak periods.
Network Rail has a programme under way to protect the railway from extreme weather and climate change, supported by a £2.6 billion investment in track maintenance and renewals.
Engineers are working hard to lift the speed restrictions on this route as quickly as possible so the full regular service can resume.

Period:Saturday, October 3 to Monday, November 2

Customer advice:
Southern are sorry that some customers travelling on the Uckfield line will continue to experience disruption.
The record-breaking hot weather this summer and sustained low rainfall has affected track conditions in some areas, meaning temporary speed restrictions need to remain in place. Safety is and will always remain the highest priority.
Because trains need longer to complete their journeys, running the normal timetable could lead to delays building up throughout the day and increase the risk of short-notice cancellations.
To provide customers with greater certainty and help keep services running as reliably as possible, we've temporarily revised the timetable and will operate replacement buses between Crowborough and Uckfield at certain times of the day.
Southern know many customers rely on these services every day for work, education, appointments and important time with family and friends, and are very sorry for the disruption these changes may cause. The revised timetable has been designed to minimise the impact on customers wherever possible, including protecting key services used by children travelling to and from school.

Why are temporary timetable changes needed?
These targeted changes are needed because temporary speed restrictions have been introduced by Network Rail on sections of the railway following a period of prolonged hot and dry weather, which has affected track conditions in some areas.
Network Rail has a programme under way to protect the railway from extreme weather and climate change, supported by a £2.6 billion investment in track maintenance and renewals.
Investment includes drainage, earthworks, track and overhead power improvements, as well as monitoring and predictive technologies to identify risks earlier and enable proactive intervention.
The speed restrictions being introduced will ensure trains can continue operating reliably while work is carried out to address track conditions that have been affected by the recent weather.
