EMR & Corby tunnel flooding disruption - 24 Nov 2024

[Essexal]

It appears Sheffield & Nottingham > London Intercity services are suspended for the rest of the day due to flooding south of Leicester & also north of Corby.

The Corby line block appears to have trapped three trains in the same location as the major land slip/flooding incident at Corby Tunnel in 2019.

Apologies if this has already been posted or posted in the wrong area.

I was on the 16:02 from St Pancras to Sheffield. Arrived in Sheffield about 70 mins late. As you say all look to be cancelled now, glad I didn't go for a later train.

I was on the 17.05 to Nottingham. RTT doesn't show it, but we eventually made it to Kettering about 60 minutes late.

After waiting there for over 30 mins, we were told to either get a reimbursed taxi or attempt to fit onto the only train which would attempt the flood. I made it onto the 17.35 from London (at Kettering) and we made it through the flood, ending up around 90 minutes late.
