CrossCountry cancels UK services after power cut
CrossCountry said 30-minute delays qualify for compensation as ticket acceptance expanded and a near-normal service remained only on one route.
- A power cut at the Birmingham city centre control centre on Sunday disrupted CrossCountry rail services, causing widespread cancellations across the network.
- The outage began Saturday, crippling systems required to safely manage long-distance rail operations and forcing the operator to withdraw most services until further notice.
- CrossCountry expects near-normal service between Peterborough, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport, the only line operating as scheduled, while more than 100 stations face disruptions.
- Passengers delayed by 30 minutes or more can claim Delay Repay compensation, while CrossCountry tickets are accepted by other operators during the disruption.
- This marks the second power failure disrupting rail services this month; an earlier outage in Manchester halted trains across the Midlands and North England.
