As coronavirus carries on sweeping the UK, many train operating companies have chosen to implement a reduced timetable.

With so many train operating companies around the country, we thought it would be useful to have one page with all the cancellations that are taking place.

Covid-19 is a fast-moving pandemic, with information changing all the time. Please check with the relevant companies to see where you stand if you have pre-booked tickets.

If you believe we may have missed one, then please get in touch. If you have found this page and other parts of the RailAdvent website useful, then please consider supporting us with a RailAdvent Plus membership.
