Disruption continues for London Euston mainline services after person dies on tracks in Watford

Major disruption is continuing after a fatality on the tracks in Hertfordshire meant no mainline train services could enter or leave London's Euston station this morning.

National Rail Enquiries said the incident is affecting passengers travelling with Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway and Southern.

Major Disruption is expected until 1300 on Wednesday.

Avanti West Coast runs long-distance services between Euston and Glasgow on the West Coast Main Line, with branches to locations such as Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales.

British Transport Police said it received a report of a casualty on tracks near Watford Junction station, Hertfordshire at 6.04am on Wednesday.

Paramedics attended but the person was pronounced dead at the scene.

Affected passengers are able to use tickets on some alternative routes.

Road transport is also being provided in some areas.

A National Rail spokesperson said: "Emergency services have now safely completed their work between Watford Junction and Bushey, and all lines have reopened. Whilst service recovers, trains running between these stations may still be severely delayed by up to 90 minutes or revised."
