801222 approaches Joan Croft Junction on 18 July 2022 with the 1E06 06:48 Glasgow Central to Kings Cross LNER service, which on this occasion had started from Edinburgh at 08:00 due to a crewing issue. Due to the extreme heat it was running at reduced speed, and was already 20 minutes late. It would arrive in London 48 minutes behind time. The following day was even hotter, with the UK recording the highest ever temperature, and as a consequence, all LNER East Coast Mainline trains were cancelled, with almost no trains passing this point throughout the entire day.
