There are concerns around fires breaking out as temperatures near 30 degrees this weekend
The restrictions primarily affect the Moors Explorer services. It is hoped they will help prevent the likelihood of fires breaking out on the side of the line.Laura Strangeway, director of corporate services at NYMR, said: “Due to the tinder-dry conditions we are experiencing, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our planned timetable from this weekend .
"It has been particularly dry since Easter and with the dry weather set to continue, we have made the decision to supplement our Steam Locomotive fleet with diesel engines assisting our trains to minimise the risk of further fires. “The ground is particularly dry and would require continual rain over several days to make a substantial difference and currently there is no sign of rain forecasted.
