Heatwave Halts Trains in East Midlands | Nottingham News

East Midlands Railway is slowing down and suspending some services this week due to a scorching heatwave — with temps hitting 35°C and an amber heat health alert in effect from Tuesday, August 11th to Friday, August 14th. Starting Wednesday, August 12th, trains between Nottingham and Leicester, plus Nottingham and Worksop, will be suspended from noon onward. All trains are running slower to prevent track damage and signal issues. Safety comes first — the rail network can’t handle extreme heat. Travel only if absolutely necessary, stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and seek shade or waiting rooms before boarding. Check your journey details ahead of time, and if you must travel, aim for before noon. Patience is key as they prioritize safety during these dangerous conditions.
