ECML Power Supply disruption (04/06/26)

[MboroFC]

Would anyone be able to shed some light on LNER cancellations due to a fault with the electricity supply? Was due to be heading to Newcastle but got terminated short at Darlington.
Thanks

About an hour ago I was in Darlington and saw that only diesels were going north. 1N09 (91105) turned around there for instance.

From national rail "Following a fault with the signalling system caused by damage to the overhead wires between Durham and Darlington, all lines have now reopened." Hope this helps: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/durham-20260604/

Could be some issues tomorrow; four LNER southbounds were terminated at (or never left) Newcastle; 1E20, 1E21, 1Y18, 1Y19.

Now 1S26, 1E26 and 1E28 are cancelled as well, despite the trains that form them (1E14, 1S16 and 1S17) arriving only a little late; I wonder if they'll restart at Newcastle in an attempt to balance sets.

Yeah, or VSTP sets in from the depot when the issue is fully cleared and lines are empty overnight

And now 1N14, 1N15, 1N33 (3 Newcastle services in a row) as well as 1S31 and 1N86 all cancelled. 1N33 comes off the cancelled 1Y19 but the other two form from Leeds services, so I'm guessing they'll send those sets back to Leeds so too many sets don't end up at Heaton. Not great if you were trying to travel from KX to Northallerton or Durham though...

Thats interesting, thank you. Annoyed my service terminated short as it feels like issues are most days now.

Presumably also because crew will be Newcastle crew and most likely have not gone to London.

1E20 reached Durham platform 1 and used the cross over at the north end of the station to return to Newcastle under the same head code.
1Y18 terminated at Durham platform 1 after being held in the loop for 1V68 and 9M16 to pass, call at Durham and continue on under diesel power. 1Y18 was then planned to spin back to Newcastle in passenger service, but does not appear on Real Time Trains.
