Train operator LNER has advised passengers not to travel on Sunday while safety checks continue to be made on some of its trains.

Other companies have issued similar guidance though Hull Trains says the matter has now been resolved on its fleet and it's services have now resumed, as previously reported by Nub News.

Services from a variety of companies have been affected, including those to and from Grantham on the East Coast Mail Line.

LNER said tonight: "Due to a number of Hitachi Class 800 trains from several train companies being taken out of service for checks as a precautionary measure, there will be a reduced number of services in operation across the LNER route.

"The issue is being investigated and once trains have been checked, we hope to be able to release them back into service as soon as possible.

"We apologise for the disruption caused and are advising customers not to travel on Sunday 9th May, with tickets valid until Sunday 16th May. Alternatively, customers can claim a refund from their original point of purchase.

"Seat reservations are required on all LNER services for anyone planning to travel.

"We recommend customers check our website, lner.co.uk for the very latest travel information and updates."

As Nub News reported earlier today, checks are being made to Hitachi 800 trains following the discovery of hairline cracks on some of them.
