Due to flooding between Bottesford and Grantham , East Midlands trains have had to alter some of there services.
Trains to Skegness are operating but not calling at Grantham .
Services between Nottingham and Norwich are being diverted via Oakham

Another case of go from bad to worse .
Due to signalling problems in the Sheffield area , all services are presently suspended between Chinley and Sheffield .

Most liverpool - Norwich services are four car 158's . If you are travelling onwards from nottingham though make sure your in the rear set on departure from liverpool or manchester , the front set will be detached as rear set after reversal at Sheffield on arrival at Nottingham.

I have also heard of but not common practice these days for a 153 to operate on its own rather than cancel the service between Nottingham and Liverpool , but must say that this is very occasional and usually towards the back half of the day.
