Passengers are facing disruption until at least 7:30pm this evening, East Midlands Railway has said.
“At present we are expecting the line to re-open in the next 3 hours,” the operator said in a service update on its website. “As soon as the line is open again, our priority will be to get trains running to their advertised times again. We expect our advertised timetable to resume on the affected routes by 19:30.”
