No
trains


are
running
on
the
West
Coast
Main
Line
between
Scotland
and
England,
because
the
line
has
been
blocked.

Transpennine
Express
says
the
track
is
blocked
by
a
fallen
tree
near
Beattock
Summit,
north
of
Lockerbie,
and
overhead
wires
have
been
damaged.

Avanti
West
Coast
trains
from
London
Euston
are
being
terminated
at
Preston
or
Carlisle,
and
some
services
have
been
cancelled.

TransPennine
Express
is
‘strongly
advising
passengers
not
to
travel
north
of
Carlisle’,
because
there
are
no
trains
running
between
Carlisle
and
Glasgow
Central
or
Edinburgh
in
either
direction
and
no
replacement
buses.

Meanwhile,
East
Coast
Main
Line
trains
have
been
disrupted
between
Northallerton
and
Thirsk,
because
the
emergency
services
are
dealing
with
an
incident
involving
a
trespasser
near
Northallerton,
who
is
reported
by
LNER
to
have
been
hit
by
a
train.

LNER
said:
‘Trains
are
running,
but
there
is
major
disruption,
and
you
may
be
delayed.’
