LNER, which operates the East Coast Main Line, said: “Due to severe disruption on the LNER route, we’re advising customers not to travel today.

“This disruption is being caused by damage to the overhead electric wires between Stevenage and Peterborough which has in turn caused damage to some of our electric trains.
