Disruption planned on railways between Peterborough and Ely

Because of the engineering works, no trains will run between the two cities.

A spokesman for Network Rail said: “There are 53 pairs of wheel timbers across the structures that are in most urgent need of replacement. If these timbers are not replaced soon, it’s almost certain that there will be further deterioration. This would then lead to either additional speed restrictions or the closure of the line, significantly disrupting train services. As a result, this work must take place as soon as possible.”

Works are set to take place on the line on a number of weekends through the autumn and winter.
