Train Services Disrupted Between Royston and Cambridge Due to Fatal Incident
Rail services have been severely disrupted between Royston and Cambridge following a tragic train fatality. The incident, which occurred this afternoon, has forced the cancellation of all train services in the region as emergency services respond to the situation. The Great Northern rail operator has confirmed that an individual was struck by a train between Royston and Cambridge, resulting in the closure of all lines in this area.
As a consequence of this distressing incident, several scheduled trains between Lynn, Downham, and Watlington have been canceled. This includes the services originally planned for 5:10 pm and 5:40 pm, although no further disruptions are expected for later journeys.
Passengers who usually rely on the services between Lynn and London King’s Cross are advised that trains will currently only operate between Lynn and Cambridge.
