Rail Disruption Following Damage to Overhead Wires Between Lockerbie and Carlisle
- Overnight on June 30, a fallen tree in the vicinity of Beattock, Dumfries and Galloway, caused a blockage on the West Coast Main Line between Carlisle and Scotland.
- A fallen tree caused extensive harm to the electrical cables along the rail line between Carlisle and Lockerbie, prompting Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express to cancel services and discourage travel today.
- All trains now start and terminate at Carlisle, with cancellations affecting routes between Carlisle and Glasgow or Edinburgh, while alternative routes and ticket acceptance across other operators are offered.
- Andy McClements from TransPennine Express explained that although it is uncommon for them to recommend against traveling, the removal of the fallen tree blocking the tracks is expected to take most of the day, making travel between Carlisle and Glasgow or Edinburgh uncertain.
- Passengers with tickets for June 30 can travel on July 1 using the same route, and refunds are available for those unable or unwilling to travel, while staff assist customers during ongoing repair efforts.
