Cable thieves cause train disruption in Yorkshire on New Year’s Eve
Thieves have caused disruption to train services in South Yorkshire after they stole signalling cables, National Rail has said.
It happened at Conisbrough between Doncaster and Sheffield, and will affect CrossCountry, Northern and TransPennine Express services between the two stations.
National Rail said the theft means fewer trains will run between Doncaster and Sheffield, some services will be cancelled, some delayed and others revised or diverted.
The disruption is expected to last through New Year’s Eve.
Network Rail said it had staff on site to investigate the incident.
