UK: Broken rail causes hour-long train delays

India Nov 10, 2025

If you're traveling through Nottinghamshire today, expect some serious train delays—up to an hour—after a rail broke between Newark Northgate and Retford.
Several East Midlands Railway routes, including Liverpool to Nottingham and Norwich, have been canceled or rerouted because of the blocked line.

National Rail teams are on it

National Rail teams are on it, but they say delays will probably stick around all day.
You can use your ticket on LNER trains for free as a backup, though those may also be affected.
Best bet: keep checking for updates before heading out and plan for extra travel time until things get back to normal.
