en.Wedoany.com Reported - Extreme heat has forced Network Rail to adjust train services in northwest England, where an amber extreme heat warning has been issued. Train timetables will be altered, and journey times will be extended due to speed restrictions. Previously, red extreme heat warnings were issued for southern and central England, with rail authorities urging passengers in those areas not to travel unless absolutely necessary.

The speed restrictions are designed to reduce the thermal load on the tracks caused by high temperatures, but no rail replacement bus services will be provided. Ross Davies, Northwest Network Operations Director, stated that passengers are advised to check with their train operator or the National Rail Enquiries website for specific arrangements before traveling. Those who need to travel should plan ahead, allow extra time, and take necessary precautions. Davies emphasized that the extreme heat will affect the country this week, and passengers should pay attention to the latest travel guidance for their area.
