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.
Sep 16 to Nov 2
Temporary timetable changes to Southern services between London Bridge and Uckfield due to a speed restriction
Period:Wednesday, September 16 to Monday, November 2
Operators:Southern
Related Information:A speed restriction remains in place on the line between Oxted and Uckfield. As a result, between Monday and Saturday a small number of services which normally run between between London Bridge and Uckfield will be revised to run between London Bridge and Crowborough only, with a replacement bus running between Crowborough and Uckfield.
The usual timetable will operate on Sunday, with no planned changes to services.
This is expected until at least Monday 2 November.
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.
Travel advice:
Some journeys will take longer than usual and a small number of services between Crowborough and Uckfield will be replaced by rail replacement buses.
Please check before you travel for the latest journey information, including train times, replacement bus services and alternative travel options. You should also allow a little extra time for your journey where needed. Journey planners online are up to date for future travel information.
Staff will also be on-site to assist you with any additional further queries you may have for your onward travel.
Car park season ticket holders at Uckfield and Buxted are also eligible to park at Crowborough and Eridge with no additional cost.

Stay up to date on the move with Southern’s WhatsApp channel. Live updates are available Monday to Friday, 07:00–21:00.
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.
Check before you travel:
You can check your journey up to and including Friday 23 October using the National Rail real-time Journey Planner. For travel on Saturday 24 October and beyond, please check back closer to the time of travel as the Journey Planner has not yet been updated to reflect the amended timetable.
For helpful advice if you need to travel on a rail replacement service, including accessibility and bicycle information, please use our Rail Replacement Services page.
You can find the pick-up and drop-off location of rail replacement services by checking station signage or by searching for your station on our Find a Station page.
Please be advised that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey.
Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
Oct 8 to Dec 13
Embankment issue speed restriction impacts Southern services between Tonbridge and Redhill
Period:Thursday, October 8 to Sunday, December 13
Operators:Southern
Related Information:A speed restriction over an embankment between Edenbridge and Godstone means trains will run to a reduced speed. As a result, trains between these stations will be delayed by up to 20 minutes.
This is expected until the end of the day on Sunday 13 December.
Customer advice:
Please allow up to 20 minutes of additional journey time in either direction while trains pass through the area at a reduced speed.
Planning your journey:
For help planning your journey, check live departure boards, view a live network map or see alternative route guides.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
Following reports of a rough ride between Godstone and Edenbridge, Network Rail engineers inspected the track and identified an issue with a nearby embankment.
To keep journeys safe, Network Rail carried out further detailed assessments and developed a plan for repairs. This work involves strengthening the embankment, and is not expected to be complete until 13 December. Until these repairs are finished, a speed restriction will remain in place in both directions through the area.
