There are “signalling problems” between Edinburgh and Morpeth.

“Delays of up to 15 minutes on London North Eastern Railway, CrossCountry and Transpennine Express Southbound between Edinburgh Waverley and Morpeth due to problems with the signals.”

This is the broader picture across the region:

• Slow traffic on A167 in both directions at the Tyne Bridge. In the roadworks area.
• Slow traffic on A1 Western Bypass Northbound around A167 Angel Of The North coming from Chester-le-Street. Travel time is ten minutes.
