Passengers have been left stranded on stationary trains for more than two hours as a signalling fault at London Euston causes carnage across the network.
Travellers on the West Coast Main Line, which runs between Euston and Glasgow as well as branching off to Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh, are facing severe delays.
Network Rail has apologised and say it’s ‘working to fix the problem as soon as possible’.
A spokesperson said: ‘We’re so sorry for the disruption at Euston, and we’re doing everything we can to fix it.
‘Our signalling system is designed to put signals to red if it detects a problem, a kind of safety “fail-safe”, and has done so on some of the tracks approaching the station this afternoon.
‘We’re working with operators to run trains on the lines and platforms that are working as normal, but there are delays and cancellations as a result.
‘We advise passengers to check with their operator before they travel to or from Euston this afternoon while we work to find and fix the problem.’
