UK transport minister
  • Temperatures in the United Kingdom are expected to reach a record-breaking 41 Celsius on Tuesday.
  • Some rail services on the East Coast main line, Thameslink, and Great Northern lines have been cancelled.

UK transport minister has warned that heat-related travel disruptions will occur “a lot more regularly” as the country’s infrastructure succumbs to an unprecedented heatwave.

“A lot of our infrastructure is just not built for these types of temperatures,” Grant Shapps told Sky News on Tuesday.

Temperatures in the United Kingdom are expected to reach a record-breaking 41 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, as an unusual atmospheric pattern transports warm air from southern Europe further north.

“On the railways . . . on the ground those rails can be heating up to 50C, 60C, or hotter, and that means they’re in serious danger of buckling, so you end up having to run the trains slower,” Shapps said.
