Train attack.
Thoughts with the passengers and crew who were on the LNER train.
An outstanding perfomance by driver and signallers to divert from the fast track to Huntingdon station doubtless saved lives.

8 minutes between initial report and being at a stand at #Huntingdon.
That’s fast thinking, fast action and professionals working at their best: never tell me ever again that me or my colleagues “just press buttons.”
I raise my hat to @LNER, @networkrail & @BTP.

SERVICE PLAN
Great Northern
- Trains which run between Ely and Kings Lynn will not run.
- Trains between Kings Cross and Cambridge will instead run between Hitchin or Letchworth and Cambridge
- Trains between Moorgate and Stevenage via Hertford North will instead run between Moorgate and Hertford North.
Please note that this plan is dependant on both driver and train availability, which has been severely disrupted by this incident.
Trains which do run will be severely delayed, and may be revised or cancelled at short notice.
