Episode Details

Train travel in the UK is getting hit hard by record-breaking heat, with rail operators slashing schedules and rerouting services to prevent track damage. Temperatures could soar to 35°C, triggering amber and red heat alerts across the north, Midlands, and south. LNER’s Stuart Thomas warns that metal rails and wires expand dangerously in the heat, forcing slower speeds and fewer passengers—thanks to public awareness. Refunds or flexible ticket use are being offered. Even heritage lines like the North Yorkshire Moors Railway are switching from steam to diesel to avoid fire risks. If you’re planning a trip, consider rescheduling—safety first, delays second.
