    The University of Cambridge already announced that all lectures will be online

    The University of Cambridge says it will offer students living in college accommodation a weekly coronavirus test - even if they show no symptoms.

    "We are offering testing to asymptomatic students because it is possible for people to spread the virus and infect others even if they are unaware that they themselves are infected," its website says., external

    The university says the programme will be voluntary, but it expects most students will take part.

    The tests will be self-administered and students' samples will be pooled into "households" to "reduce the number of samples analysed and make the programme manageable using limited testing capacity".

    Students will be told if their pooled "household" test comes back positive, and offered individual tests.

    Earlier, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said more people in England are seeking tests when they don't have any Covid-19 symptoms - which he described as an "inappropriate" use of the system that makes it harder for people who needed tests to get one.

    Work has already started on parts of a £1.2bn upgrade, which is aimed at improving reliability and punctuality for passengers.

    Replacing track on the approach to London King's Cross station is to take place from 1 March for three months, resulting in some services being disrupted.

    LNER, Great Northern, Thameslink, Hull Trains and Grand Central services will all see reduced peak services, with passengers being asked to travel at quieter times.

    As well as a redesign of the track going into King's Cross, a new tunnel is to be built near Peterborough to move freight trains.

    That work is set to take place in January.

    More details of the new-look timetables are to be released in the coming months, Network Rail added.
