The flights have been canceled and rail pbadengers are facing delays after the UK has experienced record temperatures, thunderstorms and heavy rains.
East Midlands Trains (EMT) told the public to expect a greatly reduced service to and from London at the weekend after the airline was seriously damaged, while the number of pbadengers in the United States was high. Arrivals were limited at airports.
Train pbadengers were asked to check before starting their journey and not to use the London St Pancras-Nottingham-Sheffield route. In the meantime, replacement coaches and revised schedules were put in place after a strike by the RMT trade union leaders for pay and working conditions.
On Saturday, EMT apologized to the pbadengers and said the ongoing disruption of services on the Midland-London main line would continue over the weekend.
"We are sorry for all people who have experienced disrupted trips over the past two days," said Jake Kelly, EMT's general manager. "We do have a significantly reduced schedule on our route to London this weekend and our advice to customers is to avoid traveling on this route as much as possible and to make other arrangements"
St Pancras station in London has been severely disrupted since Friday, after the cancellation of Eurostar services and damage to airline equipment near West Hampstead.
The air traffic control operator, Nats, said a technical problem with a system installed at the Swanwick Air Traffic Control Center was identified shortly after noon, which limited the number of arrivals. A spokesman for Heathrow said the technical problem, which had resulted in many cancellations, had been resolved since then. "We apologize to the pbadengers for any disturbance that would have caused."
Gatwick said, "We are aiming for a normal timetable [on Saturday]However, due to persistent weather in Europe, pbadengers are advised to consult the latest information from their airlines. "
It comes after the United Kingdom recorded maximum temperatures of 38.1 ° C (Thursday), the second hottest day ever recorded. The Met Office is investigating whether the all-time record of 38.5 ° C in 2003 was exceeded, after receiving a provisional record of 38.7 ° C at the Cambridge Botanic Garden, before the weather became rainy and stormy.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning in the event of rain, which covers vast areas of Scotland and England, with the exception of the southwestern region, until Sunday afternoon.
