Storm Dennis: Peterborough rail passengers asked to delay travelling to London

Passengers planning to travel from Peterborough to London over the weekend are being asked to defer their trip due to Storm Dennis.

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.

It added: “There may be extended journey times, short-notice delays and cancellations.

“We expect services to be extremely busy throughout the weekend so we are encouraging customers with LNER tickets dated for travel on Saturday, February 15 or Sunday, February 16 to defer travel to Monday, February 17 where possible.

“Please travel as close to the original time as stated on your ticket. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
