LNER’s MD David Horne has just tweeted this information which is self-explanatory.

Having followed the rail industry for a very long time this decision is unpredented.

It is unclear what the two ‘open access’ operators, Hull Trains and Grand Central, will be doing.

Readers ought to note that LNER says it will have an amended timetable tomorrow (Monday) with trains limited to 60 mph.

I suggest anyone planning to travel on these days check with the train operator for the latest information.

The rail industry has taken the very difficult decision to close the East Coast main line between York/Leeds and London on Tuesday 19 July when temperatures are due to peak at 39 deg C.

I’m sorry if this will disrupt your journey plans but the safety of everyone must come first https://t.co/KU0dVNabHt
