"If you are travelling with us on Wednesday, disruption is expected due to heat related speed restrictions which may cause short notice delays and cancellations.
"We strongly recommend you travel earlier in the day if you can, keep flexible and check before you travel."
The rail operator is also encouraging passengers to carry water, and anyone feeling unwell is urged to seek assistance at the next station.
