Service Information

As a result of Storm Eunice, some of our network remains closed for the remainder of the weekend. Response teams have been working tirelessly on repairs to clear the lines so that they may re-open, but the following routes remain closed.

Please DO NOT TRAVEL as there is no alternative transport available.All other lines have reopened, but it is possible that there may be disruption owing to the storm.

  • GE Mainline and Branch lines
  • Southminster Line - Heavy damage to the overhead electric wires and one of our trains means we cannot re-open this line until these have been repaired and cleared.

  • West Anglia
    • Many trees have fallen in the Stansted Mountfitchet area, and these have damaged the overhead electric wires as well as the surrounding equipment & infrastructure. Network Rail are working tirelessly on repairs but it is likely the line will remain closed for the weekend.
