Rail disruption across UK set to continue into next week after cracks found in trains
Following disruption on Saturday morning,said its services would resume as normal following "thorough checks by Hitachi" on its fleet of Class 800 series trains.
LNER says affected customers' tickets will be valid up to and including Sunday 16 May, though a new reservation will need to be made.
He told BBC business correspondent Katy Austin that while body shell cracking would not "cause the trains to crash or disintegrate or anything like that", action needed to be taken, because if metal fatiguing was allowed to continue, the "cracks will spread, and the body shell strength will be weakened".
