Britain's Network Rail asks people not to travel on Tuesday in anticipation of record-high temperatures
Network Rail, which owns, operates and develops Britain’s rail infrastructure, is asking people not to travel Tuesday due to extreme heat.
The company said
in a tweet the East Coast Main Line will be closed and no services will run between London King’s Cross and York and Leeds.
“A combination of extremely high local forecast temperatures and temperatures well in excess of those for which the infrastructure is designed for on the East Coast Main Line has led to this decision,” it said
on its website.
Network Rail also said conditions on other routes are subject to change depending on the weather. Extreme heat can cause the rail to expand, causing it to bend and buckle, the company says, adding the high temperatures can also be dangerous for workers.
