This comes after temperatures soared over the bank holiday weekend, with the Met Office confirming Monday, May 25 was the hottest May day on record.

If any delays or service issues occur, we will share updates as soon as possible. To help minimise disruption, some services have been cancelled or revised.

“If you need any help with your journey, please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point. We are very sorry for any disruption to your journey.”
