LNER disruption between Leeds and Doncaster. (05/06)

[nlt]

Am on the 1233 ex KGX to LDS. We are being diverted to York after a "person hit by a train". Anybody know any more details please.

#LNERUpdate Due to a person being hit by a train between #Doncaster and #Leeds, services may be subject to delays when passing in the surrounding area.

You should be able to get frequent connections with other TOCs onto Leeds from York, as there’s no electrified diversionary route into Leeds (yet) this is the quickest alternative for an electric only train

Person struck just past South Elmsall. LNER trains diverting to York,

Northern hoping to put buses on LDS-DON. Sheffield trains running fine.

As you have stated a person has been hit by a train, that is the detail.

LNER bimode services are diverting via Hambleton Junction into Leeds, where Crewe route knowledge allows, other LNER services will divert to York.

Ticket acceptance is in place with Cross country and Trans Pennine express between York and Leeds, and Leeds and Wakefield.

1A30 at South Elmsall I believe

That would be the reason 1D12 was sat in P4 for around 20 minutes then. Caused a bit of congestion for a few minutes.
