Train services on the East Coast mainline have resumed between York and Peterborough, but remain suspended nearer London.

Thousands of passengers have faced disruption today following the collapse of overhead power cables in Cambridgeshire.

Many were stranded at York Station after all services to and from King's Cross were cancelled. Services have now restarted between York and Peterborough but passengers are still being advised to avoid travelling if possible.

A spokesman for rail operator East Coast said: "Services are running north of Peterborough to/from Eastern England, Yorkshire, North East England and Scotland.

"However, as a result of the disruption, short notice alterations and delays can be expected across the route.

"It is expected that for the remainder of today, East Coast train services will start and terminate at Peterborough. East Coast has mobilised 63 replacement coach services at Peterborough and Huntingdon to take passengers to/from Cambridge where they can join connecting train services to/from London Liverpool Street."

Passengers who were travelling on the four East Coast trains which were brought to a standstill in the affected area are now on the move.
