Travelers at Euston Station experience major disruptions as a signal failure causes severe travel issues. All train lines came to a halt due to this problem, resulting in significant delays and

cancellations for passengers. National Rail initially reported the issue around 10:40 BST, but it has since been resolved.

While services are gradually getting back on track, passengers should still anticipate delays of up to 90 minutes and possible cancellations. The major disruption is expected to continue until approximately 15:30 BST.

A Network Rail spokesperson expressed their apologies to customers for the inconvenience, stating, "We're sorry for the disruption to services in and out of London Euston earlier today as our engineers repaired a fault with the signaling system in the area."

In response to the disruption, both Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway have announced that tickets affected by these issues will be valid for some alternative train services.

Additionally, ticket acceptance agreements have been reached with East Midlands Railway and Thameslink, specifically for routes between Bedford and Wellingborough, to assist passengers traveling to or from London St Pancras International.

BBC journalist Alex Smith, who is present at the station, reported that some staff are unaware of which trains are arriving at platforms one to seven, causing last-minute rushes as announcements are made. The situation at the station has led to significant chaos and confusion among passengers. Photo by Platform 14, Euston Station by N Chadwick, Wikimedia commons.
