Episode Details

CrossCountry trains suffered a massive power outage Sunday, grinding nearly all services to a halt — including key routes between Glasgow and Edinburgh — after a critical failure at their Birmingham control center. While some trains resumed limited service by evening heading toward Leicester and Derby, full operations aren’t expected until Monday, August 24th, as engineers work with National Grid to ensure stability. Passengers were urged to constantly verify travel plans, with other rail operators offering free transfers to ease the disruption. Those hit with delays of 30+ minutes or canceled trips may qualify for compensation as CrossCountry works to make things right after a chaotic weekend.
