On Monday and Tuesday, only travel if your journey is absolutely necessary.
On Tuesday, you cannot travel on Great Northern or Thameslink routes to or from London Kings Cross or Moorgate. There will be no trains on these routes for the whole day. Network Rail are advising that you Do Not Travel in the area.
The Met Office have issued a ‘Red Warning for Extreme Heat’, this means there is a substantial risk of disruption to the train service.
- Thameslink and Great Northern will be running a significantly reduced service across all routes. On Tuesday there will be no service on routes to or from London Kings Cross or Moorgate.
- Southern services are expected to mostly run as planned but some routes see the service reduced
- Gatwick Express services will not run
- Other train operators are also affected in the same way and are also advising you only to travel if absolutely necessary
