London signal failure causes East Midlands train delays | London signal failure causes East Midlands train delays |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Trains on the Midland Mainline have been disrupted by a signal failure in north-west London. | |
The problem at Hendon forced the earlier suspension of East Midlands Trains services between St Pancras and Luton. | |
The company said limited services in the area had now resumed, but warned there would be delays on the mainline for the rest of the afternoon. | |
Tickets were being accepted on some other routes, according to the firm. | |
A spokeswoman for East Midlands Trains advised passengers to use the company's website for the latest information. | |
She said: "Services on our network are still being disrupted by a signalling problem in the Hendon area although a limited train service is now running again between London St Pancras and Luton. | |
"We would like to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience these delays may cause and would like to thank them for their patience as Network Rail works hard to restore services to normal as quickly as possible." | |
The Midland Mainline runs between Sheffield and St Pancras, with stops at Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Kettering, Bedford and Luton. | The Midland Mainline runs between Sheffield and St Pancras, with stops at Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Kettering, Bedford and Luton. |
