Train services between Doncaster, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes will be suspended for at least eight weeks after a landslip, Network Rail said.
It said an ^enormous^ spoil heap at Hatfield Colliery at Stainforth, South Yorkshire was ^pushing up the track^.
The landslip lifted a section of railway track and is still moving.
Buses will replace trains between Doncaster and Scunthorpe and an amended timetable will run until the heap is stabilised and the track repaired.
