If they can get you and the bike on another service you will likely find that your ticket will be accepted on any appropriate train. If that ends up arriving after your scheduled/booked arrival time, don't forget to delay repay!

And if anyone has to cancel - for whatever reason, actually, but was planning to travel on a line affected by the disruptions - please remember:

@Gordon P , @wanda2010 I'll keep watching the National Rail website. If the delays & cancellation continue, I'm tempted to get to KGX in time for the 20.00 in the hope they'll let us on whatever first train turns up.
@Moodyman , it seems there are also problems on your route

King's X services currently terminating at Doncaster until further notice. There may be rail replacement arrangements north wards. It may get sorted later it may not. Nice LNER man in 1st Class lounge saying don't travel if you don't have to.

Yup, in the crowd before the wailing board....
It looks like most stuff on the ECML or the TP routes is either v delayed or cancelled to/from/through York until around 2pm. Glimmers of hope after that. If people end up in York at funny times with time to kill before the meet up I have evidence from last year's ride that we can fit a dozen or more cyclists and their bikes (securely) in/around the Den. So long as they're quite friendly - it's somewhat compact and bijou. Oh, and if you nip round pls remember that the sign on the bathroom radiator about DON'T TOUCH OR BUMP OR WOBBLE ME ain't joking... the plumber's been on holiday and I really could do without getting flooded by that dodgy-connection-in-the-pipework's extremely tenuous grip (on reality?) giving way!

Forecast for York looks better than it did 24 hours ago. Good chance we'll
Thanks for the heads up Mr S. My train is a local one and not due until 9pm. Hopefully, things will have sorted themselves out by then - fingers crossed.

I'm on the 1127 KX to Sunderland service, which left 1hr 40 late. So is the bike, I hasten to add... York first scheduled stop.

We're coming from North of York (yes, Southerners, there is such a thing) and have already had our Thunder and rain, thankyouverymuch. A whole night of drizzle doesn't sound like fun to me, but I may bring Disco Tunes and a headphone to make up for it.
I have cheese and ham, btw

A night of drizzle sounds pretty damn appealling right now in Middle Earth. Watching the state of the trains with interest. Currently everything seems to be falling into a black hole somewhere in the vicinity of Doncaster, which leaves the interesting question of whether it's wise to risk getting on a train in the first place, at risk of ending up in Sheffield, like Mike from Spaced.
Still, my train's not till 8pm, so hopefully the situation will become clearer nearer the time...
