Newcastle fans face train nightmare ahead of Spurs clash with huge delays and passengers advised ‘not to travel’
NEWCASTLE fans have been advised not to travel by LNER after major disruption hit the train network.
All trains from Newcastle to London have been cancelled following "severe damage" to overhead lines between Peterborough and Grantham on Saturday.
Train operator LNER announced there was major disruption between London and York with lines to Lincoln and Leeds also affected.
Newcastle fans are able to travel as far as Grantham but would then have to make alternative arrangements.
One alternative is to travel from Newcastle to Carlisle before boarding a London-bound train.
But Toon fans also face a nightmare journey back to the north-east as the 7:30pm train from King's Cross to Newcastle has been cancelled.
That means there will only be one train back to Newcastle for fans to travel on - and that has been delayed due to staff shortages.
LNER issued a statement informing customers that their tickets would be valid on other trainlines, including the TransPennine Express between Manchester, Leeds and York/Newcastle.
