National Rail confirms rail delays after trespassers at Grantham station




Trespassers caused disruption to rail services across the county this afternoon (Friday).

National Rail said that although lines through Grantham have now reopened following the incident, trains may still face cancellation or delays of up to 25 minutes.

They added that services are expected to be impacted until 3.30pm.

Commuters are advised to check their journeys online.

Trespassing on a railway is illegal, and offenders can face a £1,000 fine.

This means that rail bosses must stop all trains in the vicinity to remove the individuals, check for damage, and clear any potential blockages, causing knock-on effects to other services.
