Great Northern: Due to the risk of storm-blown objects being encountered on the line, Network Rail has imposed a speed restriction north of Hitchin between 11am and 6pm. This will cause short notice alterations and cancellations with a particularly high risk of significant disruption on the Fen Line between Cambridge and Kings Lynn. Passengers are advised to check before they travel and to allow longer for their journeys
