UPDATE: Trains now running again between Mansfield and Nottingham

However, train operator East Midlands Railway says there may be the ‘odd residual delay’ for a time as the service gets back to normal.

Trains were disrupted for a second time in as many weeks on Monday morning after signal cabling was stolen close to Nottingham Station.

It led to services being diverted along a different route and no trains calling at Hucknall, Newstead or Bulwell.

Network Rail engineers have now replaced the stolen cables and the line is open again.

EMR tweeted: “After a theft of signalling cables near Nottingham earlier today, the line has now reopened on our Nottingham/Mansfield/Worksop route.

“The cables have been replaced, however, some residual delays may remain.”
