Service Alert - Service Disruption Update

Alterations to services between Birmingham New Street, Leicester, Peterborough, Cambridge and Stansted Airport on Thursday 17 & Friday 18 August 2017.

Due to a derailed freight train between March and Ely, trains are operating between Birmingham New Street and Peterborough, and between Ely and Stansted Airport in both directions.

Road transport is in operation between Peterborough and Ely. Some early morning and evening train services extend to/from March.

A timetable for services on Thursday 17 & Friday 18 August 2017 can be found here (towards Stansted Airport) and here (towards Birmingham).

Passengers may find it quicker to travel via London; CrossCountry tickets will be accepted on other operators' services.

Service alterations for Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 August will be released on Friday 18 August. Until this time, searches through Journey Planners may be incorrect.

The new ‘Britain Runs on Rail’ campaign which CrossCountry will be supporting is a great way to see how crucial train travel is for you and the UK.

It is set to make the railways bigger and better with much needed investment to support the ever expanding needs of travelling via train. You may not realise it but the industry as a whole plays a crucial role in our economy.

We will be working with the Rail Delivery Group and Network Rail as well as other train operators to show everyone what we are all doing together to make the railways a more pleasant place to travel on, including improvements to reliability and frequency. This means your journey however big or small will be the best it can be!
