Strong winds with gusts of up to 50mph and heavy rain are forecast for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire across most of the weekend with a Met Office yellow warning for wind having been issued.

As a result LNER, which runs trains between Peterborough and the capital, has revealed it will be running a reduced service over both delays with speed restrictions in place.
