Some train services and GP surgeries in Cambridgeshire have been affected by the mass IT outage that has hit services across the world.

In the UK, banks, broadcasters and rail operators are reporting issues including Great Northern which runs trains through Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough.

Greater Anglia said it has had no impact on its train services but some tickets were not working on the electronic gates at stations and this was “being investigated with high importance”.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care System (CPICB) said six GP surgeries across the region had problems as a result of the IT outage.

Dr Emma Hamilton from Thistlemoor Medical Centre in New England, Peterborough, confirmed its systems were down and staff had been using paper prescriptions but added “it’s not having a huge effect”.

NHS England said: “The NHS has long standing measures in place to manage the disruption, including using paper patient records and handwritten prescriptions, and the usual phone systems to contact your GP.”

A Greater Anglia spokesperson said “some of our stations are affected… and it is being investigated with high importance.

“Station staff will be aware and able to assist.”

Great Northern said it had put “alternative route maps” on its site to help passengers and its tickets could be used on “any reasonable route”.

“Some of our systems have returned, however services are still being impacted by this IT issue,” it said and urged passengers to check their journeys before travel.

Govia Thameslink, which runs services between London and Cambridge, apologised for any disruption.

Peterborough United’s ticketing system has also been hit.

The League One football club posted on social media: “We are unable to sell tickets either online or in person at the Weston Homes Stadium.

“We will update supporters when we are back up and running.”
